The competition will take place in Staten Island next weekend, June 14-16th. I can't believe I have been Miss Buffalo for NINE MONTHS already! So far my year has been amazing, I have met so many people who have not only influenced me but changed my life forever.<br />
<br />
I am humbled when people share with me their personal stories of abusive relationships and thank me for what I do. I am truly only confident in myself because you all are.<br />
<br />
So the point of this blog is to thank everyone who has effected my life this year. There are some individuals and groups of people who I would like to thank, if you are not on here please do not be offended, I am running on little sleep!<br />
<br />
Jennifer Starkey: Words can not describe how much your guidance and friendship has meant to me. When I felt like giving up, you were always there with a swift kick in the behind, a hug and a pair of Alisha Hill's to make it all better. I am forever indebted to you for the blood, sweat and tears you have put into the Miss Buffalo Organization.<br />
<br />
Kim Bowman: Thank you for knowing how to calm me down and keep me level-headed. I will never forget our journey to workshop together, you can make me laugh so easily. Congrats on your new job and I pray that we will <i>never </i>lose touch with each other.<br />
<br />
Tom Gleed: To my ED, thank you for your hard work in making the Miss Buffalo pageant the premier local pageant in Western NY. Without your love and support I would be lost.<br />
<br />
Mom: Where do I begin. Eight years ago I competed in my first pageant, soon after I won my first title. Two of my favorite people were there that day; you and papa. One year later, when I gave up my crown, only you were there. You have helped me through that loss and so much more. Every time I feel lost you have helped me find my voice. Thank you for always pushing me to be my best but never expecting more and embracing every piece of who I am. I love you so very much.<br />
<br />
Dad: Although we are far apart you are always there for me. Thank you for always making time for me to vent and for being one of my biggest advocates. I am so excited to see you next weekend! Love you.<br />
<br />
Randall: Many people ask me if it is weird being in graduate school with my stepdad. My answer is always "heck no!" I am so happy that I have not only parents but close friends who I can always count on. Thank you for keeping me sane through all the madness. Tim Jims =)<br />
<br />
Hilbert College: To my second family, thank you for nurturing me through some of the most challenging years of my life. I truly wouldn't be who I am today without your eight core values; Service, Compassion, Respect, Joy, Integrity, Vision, Hope and Peace.<br />
<br />
Corey Cruppi: To my Mr. Buffalo, thank you for being a great friend and keeping me tan and sassy!<br />
<br />
Russ Hurlbert: Thank you for making sure my hair is perfect and more importantly fit my personality. You are truly the best!<br />
<br />
Chaybans: Thank you to Elias and Chaybans formals for always making sure I look my best. You are too good to me.<br />
<br />
Emily: My best friend. I have a lot of close friends but it is hard to find girls who truly understand, appreciate and are proud of me for what I do (pageant girls understand this!) You have been on my team since the day we met, with a shoulder to cry on, a hand to high five and an encouraging word. Thank you for always pushing me to keep my chin up and never judging me. I love you more than words can say.<br />
<br />
Last but certainly not least, Jesse. Miss Western NY, my roommate,
my friend. Thank you for being a big sister to me and being supportive
no matter what. I can't wait to make lifelong memories with you this
weekend. Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone when I felt I
was on the island of misfit toys. I love you too much.<br />
<br />
<br />

I have visited this church before and had a great time and was honored when I was invited back to speak specifically to girls. <br />
<br />
This group had girls that were very young to adult women and we talked about dating, bullies, dating your bully and how to get out of bad situations. They even convinced me show them talent! <br />
<br />
Thanks for having me ladies! Keep shining and remember that your goals are within reach. You jut have to grab them!<br />

To Be A Local Contestant!I really hate that people have such horrible things to say about pageant girls. I never hear people bad talk sororities the way they do pageants. How are we any less of a sisterhood? We are as group of extraordinarily talented and intelligent young women who are constantly pushing each other to be our best selves. <br />
<br />
I could not be prouder to be a pageant girl. Maybe if young girls were looking up to Miss America instead of J Woww society might have a brighter future.<br />
<br />
Let's turn a new page ladies. Let's recruit as many young women as possible to carry on the Miss America tradition of Service, Style, Scholarship and Success. <br />

I met so many talented and individual girls. I am so happy that I got to talk to Kaitlin Monte and Claire Buffie; two women who seem to have endless ways to inspire me. Every day I seem to find myself more and more. Thank you both for being the amazing women you are and never allowing anyone to change you. If I could fill at least one of your very large shoes I would be happy with myself. Words can't say how much I love this organization. I love all of my sisters and I pray for my sister who could not be there today due to an accident. We are all here for you!Lonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00787458489324871264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579360369004037809.post-50607899502596934742012-04-12T18:13:00.000-07:002012-04-12T18:13:16.389-07:00Workshop!This weekend I will be going to Staten Island to take part in the Miss New York 2012 workshop.

This event donates to the Haven House (Buffalo's shelter for battered women) and the Crisis Services office and hotline that took over 6,000 calls last year alone. <br />
<br />
I was surprised with the opportunity to model an outfit by a generous sponsor (and one of my favorite stores) TJ Maxx. I had such a wonderful time and made a couple close friends who care for the same cause as me. I love that the Miss America Organization gives me the opportunity to reach out and do these types of events. Hopefully some more things in the works with Crisis Services. Have a wonderful Easter! <br />

<br />
I know I am a bit late on updating you all but life gets in the way sometimes. One of my closest friends, the beautiful girl who crowned me as Miss Buffalo was crowned Miss Niagara 2012. Her name is Miss Desiree Wiley. Desiree was not only Miss Buffalo 2011, but she placed 3rd Runner up last year at Miss New York State. I am honored that I am competing in the same category as this beautiful, intelligent and talented young woman again. Best of luck Desiree, love you sister!<br />

I finished my first three courses in Graduate School, I made an appearance at the Niagara Falls Fashion Outlets to gift wrap, I did a radio show with WXRL, 1300 AM and I spent a lovely Holiday with my friends, family and amazing boyfriend.<br />
<br />
I had a great time gift wrapping for a great cause this Holiday! This season I gift wrapped for Opportunities Unlimited, a local group that assists individuals with developmental disabilities in their everyday life. I had a wonderful time and cannot say enough about the great people I got to work with.<br />

Since I blogged last, I have turned 22, completed two graduate school courses, and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family.<br />
<br />
I had so many things to be grateful for this year. Some of things I was most thankful for were my family, my education and the opportunities I have been given this year. I feel so blessed to have the chance to go back to school and further my education. I love learning, and it seems like every time you learn a new life lesson, there is another one right around the corner. I hope that someday I can share the passion I have for learning with other young criminal justice students. I also feel so grateful for the opportunity I have been given to be your Miss Buffalo 2012. It has been almost three months and I have already met so many wonderful people and I absolutely cannot wait to represent our Queen City in June at Miss New York State! So exciting! Lastly I am grateful for my friends and family who keep me sane and grounded. I could not dream of having a more supportive group of people behind me, I love you all so much.<br />
<br />
I promised I would keep you posted on all events as soon as I know of them so here it is...<br />
<br />
I will be a gift wrapping volunteer at the Opportunities Unlimited table at the Niagara Falls Fashion Outlets this Saturday from 5 to 9. Opportunities Unlimited is a local organization the assists individuals with developmental disabilities in our area. It is a great cause so please stop by and let me do the hard work for you! :-)<br />
<br />
Lots of Love,<br />
<br />

I was honored by being invited to be a special guest at this year's Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk in Niagara Square. I was already registered as I walker but thrilled when I was asked by the American Cancer Society to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremonies. Let me tell you, the people of Buffalo were pretty rowdy and ready to go although it was freezing out!<br />
<br />
It was so inspirational to meet survivors or 2 years, 17 years and everything in between. Not only did I meet survivors but fighters too, and their friends and loved ones....also the ones they've left behind. I was so glad I could be involved with such a great cause. Breast cancer is one of the most curable cancers and it is important that we make women of all ages aware of the measures they should take to detect cancer as early as possible.<br />
<br />
I am so happy I could give back to a city that has one of the best cancer institutes in the country. Without the amazing breast cancer treatment my grandmother received from Roswell Park Cancer Institute, she would not have been here to see me win Miss Buffalo, and for that I am grateful.<br />

I guess I was just thinking about how fortunate I am to have such a loving and supporting group of friends and family (and of course my "Dream Team"). I feel so lucky that in all this chaos of Graduate School work, two jobs and pageant prep I have so many people who are there to help me whenever I need it. I would write more but as I said, surrounded by a ton of homework so that is all for now. I guess I just wanted to say thank you!<br />

<br />
Jamey Rodemeyer was a 14 year old boy from Williamsville, NY. This past Sunday, after years of relentless bullying due to his sexual preference, Jamey made the horrible decision to take his own life.<br />
<br />
This issue really bothered me not only because it is related to my platform on Teen Domestic Violence Awareness, but also because I felt bullied when I was a middle schooler and a Freshman in high school like Jamey. I cannot even fathom the constant anxiety today's teenager feels in regards to bullying. Bullying doesn't just end in school anymore with name calling or throwing someone in a locker, it continues at home. Teens log into their social media and are flooded with cyberbullying. Although in today's society there are many amazing artists and public figures reaching out to promote Dignity For Students, I still feel very fortunate that I am not a teenager today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3lavRdsyBR0Nx6uK0vLw6MGhJ5fYA-Hkbu65F9AvP4KROxG1lCbmMv9qvjTVtZqQzMEiQSA4S95Qt3WrLtRKUeaVkKcXB0s65MhV9eOP1V2tPzeIxIhDScV8quFbpsAIWzb48Q3omCf4/s1600/Photo+on+2011-09-20+at+23.42+%25232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3lavRdsyBR0Nx6uK0vLw6MGhJ5fYA-Hkbu65F9AvP4KROxG1lCbmMv9qvjTVtZqQzMEiQSA4S95Qt3WrLtRKUeaVkKcXB0s65MhV9eOP1V2tPzeIxIhDScV8quFbpsAIWzb48Q3omCf4/s1600/Photo+on+2011-09-20+at+23.42+%25232.jpg" /></a></div>This is my 9th grade yearbook picture. Glasses, braces, at-home-highlighted hair; the works. Needless to say I didn't fit in too well with the all the "popular" crowds during that point in my life (I probably still don't). It also didn't help that I was a huge choir nerd and developed later than all the other girls thus transforming my current nickname of "Train Tracks" to "The Anorexic Girl."<br />
<br />
This was extremely hard for me. Among other rumors, I actually heard that someone said the only reason I was put on the cheerleading team later that year was because I was bulimic and the only girl they could lift in stunts. Which is hilarious to me now because I am terrified of heights but at the time had me in tears almost daily.<br />
<br />
This recent event is not an issue dealing with gay rights, but an issue of equality, respect and love. Young people are bullied every day, many of them, like Jamey, for something that they can not change. It is not someone's responsibility to change how God made them so you can be more comfortable, it is your responsibility as a human being to love one another and accept people for who they are.Lonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00787458489324871264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579360369004037809.post-34619247597779350152011-09-15T20:02:00.000-07:002011-09-15T20:02:32.243-07:00My name is Lonna, and I am your Miss Buffalo 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUa7zdk9hsEp757iYvLvxeheu9hWB_7KvOeE5gD4-TPeRuIva5KqU8jGKZrsRa7Kt7njS68pHbhfUqKhVq6Um8J28a8IOWiLL_NNTHmhtnliaw-hCS7Ai9McNJt3r5iBlUNPvQZh3tzJQ/s1600/DSCF0621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUa7zdk9hsEp757iYvLvxeheu9hWB_7KvOeE5gD4-TPeRuIva5KqU8jGKZrsRa7Kt7njS68pHbhfUqKhVq6Um8J28a8IOWiLL_NNTHmhtnliaw-hCS7Ai9McNJt3r5iBlUNPvQZh3tzJQ/s320/DSCF0621.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Hey everyone! It is a little bit late so I am going to keep this pretty short. My name is Lonna McCary and September 4th I was crowned Miss Buffalo 2012 at the Buffalo Wing Festival. I was so excited, surprised, happy and honored to be chosen to represent my hometown at Miss New York State this June.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I feel that I should tell you a little more about myself. I am 21 years old (I will be 22 on October 29th), I was born in Virginia because my dad was stationed with the United States Navy there but I have spent most of my life in the rural suburb of of Silver Creek, NY. I have an amazing boyfriend who is about to commission as a Second LT in the United States Marine Corps. I also happen to have four brothers, two sisters, two sets of parents, five dogs and a goldfish named Neville Longbottom. Having ten people in your <i>immediate</i> family makes Christmas shopping a nightmare but it also keeps me surrounded my love and support which I am so grateful for.<br />
<br />
I am sure if I wasn't falling asleep I would have much more to tell you about myself but I will leave you with that for now. It has only been 11 days since I have been crowned and so far things are great. Although I am very busy with graduate school work, I feel so fortunate to have found an amazing "Dream Team" within my Miss Buffalo Scholarship Organization family. My Directors and Coordinators keep me grounded and focused and I'm ecstatic that I get to work with them for the next year!</div><br />
<br />
I will be sure to keep you all posted on events and appearances!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours,<br />
