It was a privilege to be able to participate in the
Latina Pageant
and always honored to represent my
Heritage.  I can't stress enough how happy I'm with the
award I received. It means the world to me. This will
open doors for my career, I just know it.
I can probably go on forever naming how each of you impact my life in
a positive aspect, I've learned so much this weekend.  Thank you for
everything.

respect.  The young women contestants, as promised, were great
role models.
 The media reception in greater Springfield and beyond
exceeded our expectation.

Wayne McCary, President
remember this first one. Hope to see you on another occasion.
Perhaps one day you can have the pageant in my hometown

I would like to thank each and every one of you for
everything that you did to make this experience such
a great one.
I believe very much in this organization for
its purpose to create better role models within our
communities. Aside from her physical attributes the
Mujer Latina merits recognition of her success and motivation to
achieve her goals. Thank you for believing in preserving the integrity of
not only the Latina but of women worldwide.

Eunice Quinones, Miss New York Latina 2006
Thank you so much for the marvelous experience for my daughter
Sara Agüero Jahannes to participate in the Miss Latina US Pageant
2006.

Perhaps one year the pageant will come to our beautiful city of
Savannah.

Ja A. Jahannes, Ph. D.
I have been working with a modeling agency out of
Florida and just recently wrapped up a photo shoot with
New York photographer Brad Starks. Being a part of the
pageant last year was such
an awesome and life
changing experience
that I have continued on pursuing
the arts and modeling which is something I didn't realize I enjoyed so
much. I most recently got to be a part of a Vogue runway show, and I
am currently working towards opportunities with the TV and film
industry.

Keren Palacio (nee Kinglow)
I want to thank you both for everything. I love the
experience I had with all the girls. Even though I didn’t
win the crown, I do think I am a winner, plus all the
experience I gained from the pageant I wouldn’t change
it for anything.

Once again, I hope that you still make so many girls’ dreams come
true by having these pageants.

It was truly one of the greatest and most rewarding
experiences I have had.
 I walked away with a deep
admiration and respect for each of the contestants
Teen and Miss alike, and made friendships which I
know will last my lifetime.

Despite my early prejudices toward beauty pageants, I
find myself
immensely gratified with my experience.  I
am very thankful to those who supported me,
encouraged me to participate, and the wonderful
opportunity to represent Hispanic women as I take part

in many exciting and worthwhile events.  This has been a wonderful
experience and one that I will cherish for years to come.

I have found an awesome and wonderfully unexpected joy in being
Miss Latina US for a year in my life… I’ve learned that some of life’s
greatest treasures are the ones we don’t seek -- but find us instead.  
The unexpected, unplanned paths in life we’re courageous enough to
take without knowing where they may lead are often the most
rewarding.

Graciela Stanley
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful adventure, I
really had a great time in Punta Cana and
I’m very
grateful I was able to be part of such a beautiful event.
I’d like to say that the tag line for the state pageant was “tu sueño
real” and that's exactly what I got. Riding horses in the beach and
swimming with dolphins were dreams I always had, the sharing and
enjoying of such a paradise with wonderful and beautiful new friends
made that week unforgettable, and that’s just the best gift that I will
forever cherish.

It’s been about 4 months since my return from the pageant and I
haven't stopped showing off pictures and stories. I’m sure that’s the
same for all the other girls.

Fue para mí un placer el poder colaborar
con un granito de arena con

I just want to thank all of the organization for making a
dream out my vacation.
Everything was more than
perfect.  
You guys took good care of us and made sure
we were treated like queens.  I learned sooooooooo
much and made friends with many wonderful girls.

This was an experience that I cannot forget and that will prepare me
for future ones. Thanks so much for your support.

I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to be part
of the delegates of Miss America Latina this year. It was
a wonderful experience for me.  I want to congratulate
you and the organization for doing a great job
motivating young women to be pretty but most
important to motivate them to explore their intellectuality.

Once again, thank you for the opportunity I had in representing my
adoptive country. Keep up the great job!!!
