I trained at the gym – back and tris emphasis, and then we drove to Columbus to participate in a fund raiser for the Mid-Ohio food bank.

(N.B.: as good as the above is, the picture hardly does her beauty justice….)

Monica was crowned Miss Ohio USA 2008 in December 2007 and represented The Buckeye State in the Miss USA competition in the spring of 2008 where she won the title of Miss Congeniality.

The Whitehall graduate has been featured as the National Anthem singer for the Columbus Crew and served as emcee for the Columbus Destroyers in 2005.

Monica was a top 10 semifinalist for Miss Ohio America and is a former Miss Columbus and Miss Teen Columbus. She is the official emcee for the Cinderella Scholarship Program and the Miss Columbus Teen Pageant.

She also volunteers her time at the James Comprehensive Cancer Center as a concierge.

We won a cake in the silent auction (dessert sunday), took Valerie back home, and ate a bit at BJ’s.
