The Cameo Club is designed to be a continuing
contact between the pageant and former contestants both
'National' on a national level, and 'State' on a state level.
The Cameo Club is to help advance the pageant with members
assisting the State Director as much as possible (with the
approval of the State Director.) Be sure to clear any
fundraising or special pageant promotions with the State
Director.

Dear Club
Members:
 This is my third year serving as the Senior America National Cameo Club President. As the State Cameo Clubs grow our performance groups continue to thrill audiences across the nation, reaching out to others by performing at Senior Centers, Service Clubs and special events, among many other venues. Our Club is a type of Sisterhood that bonds each of us together in a unique way, forming lasting friendships that carry us through our lives in a most meaningful way.
Every year, I welcome all of our members to be a part of the Senior America National Pageant. To be an active member of our Sisterhood, I ask you to please continue to watch this website for more details as to the date of the 2008 Pageant and a schedule of the exciting events.

Joan Daues, Missouri State Pageant Director, Ms. Missouri Senior America 1997, accepted the position of National Cameo Club Chaplain at the National Pageant held in 2004. Joan has a ecumenical committee in her state consisting of Marcene Tockman, Cameo Club President (Jewish), Peggy Shores, National Cameo Club Treasurer (Baptist), and Ginne Largent, Missouri Cameo Club Chaplain (Christian). They work with Joan helping her compose Cameo Club Prayers. Joan feels it is very important that the National Cameo Club considers all faiths when giving thanks, etc.
Joan and her husband Ken do the administrative work necessary to present their pageant each year. She is also Cameo Club Showcase Chairman and is present for almost every show presented each year.
She believes the Cameo Club is the best thing that every happened to her as a senior woman. Winning in 1997 was great, but when she met the women of Cameo, she found a sisterhood. Being an only child, that sisterhood means everything to her.
