Not many people know that the administrative assistant for the DPOA, Lorena Matarrita, is the former Miss Pomona 2004. There was no mention of this regal title in Lorena's resume'. As a matter of fact her celebrity was discovered months later over lunch with Mickey Gallivan, who chaired the pageant in 2004. Modesty is a strong virtue, a virtue that Lorena "modestly" possesses. Now, the reason for mentioning Lorena's past is that she was very upset that the Miss Pomona Pageant was cancelled (much like Pomona's Christmas Parade) due to lack of funding and volunteers. Lorena is the catalyst that is responsible for bringing the pageant back. Because of Lorena's commitment to the community and her belief that the young ladies of Pomona deserve the opportunity to participate in the pageant, the DPOA has agreed to sponsor the Miss Pomona Pageant. A steering committee has been formed to bring Miss Pomona back to the community. Not surprisingly Lorena was elected Chair of the committee. The goal of the committee is to crown the new Miss Pomona 2009 in October, and hopefully at the Fox.. although there has been no discussion with the Fox committee at this time. It's an exciting undertaking that the DPOA is very proud to underwrite. As more information becomes available it will be posted on the DPOA web site and this blog. Labels: D.P.O.A, event, sponsor
Attention all bagpipers! The American Cancer Society is searching for a bagpiper to play at a Luminary Ceremony which is part of the Pomona Relay For Life event taking place April 18 & 19 at Pomona City Hall. At last night's meeting of the Relay For Life committee meeting it was learned that a search for a bagpipe player willing to donate his/her service to honer those who have succumbed to the dreaded disease has come to naught. The ceremony will take place at 9PM, Saturday , April 18. Anyone willing to donate bagpipe services, please contact Lorena Matarrita at (909)469-1121 Labels: Relay for Life, sponsor
