A Princess'Farewell Catherine BALLARD

When I volunteered to become Miss Virginia Princess Volunteer 2021 in May before Miss Volunteer America I had no idea how much fun, love, and support I would have. It was an experience I will always remember. Being Miss Virginia Princess Volunteer is so more than I thought it would be. Before passing this amazing title to the next winner, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made me feel like a true Princess as Miss Virginia Princess Volunteer 2021.

First of all, I want to thank my the amazing Miss Virginia Volunteer Board members I wouldn’t have made it without the love and support from each of you. Mrs. Vickie Runk and Mr Brian Runk thank you for your generosity and for starting this organization to build confidence up in young girls like me Vickie you are so wonderful, Mrs. Vicki Gudger and Mr. Harlen Gudger thank you so much for the beautiful necklace you gave me plus all the encouragement to keep doing all the things (also GO HOKIES!), Mr. Chris thank you for all the great photos plus kind words during the week at Nationals, Ms. Caitlyn I love your style plus thank you for your sweet words during Nationals week as well! Next I want to thank the great friends I made at Runk & Pratt that took my photos they are wonderful Mr. Josh thank you for making the videos and photos just right, Mr. Micheal I enjoyed you making me have fun at the shoot, and Mrs. Ashlyn you helped me so much do some moves like dance moves I really enjoyed getting to dance with you. I have really enjoyed getting to know each of you more than words can show and I hope you know how much you’ve all done for me because it has really made me feel so special. Also, you cannot get rid of me entirely because our family will still be volunteering with you!

To the person who will be crowned the next Miss Virginia Princess Volunteer 2022 you will feel loved and supported so much during this year enjoy every second of every moment!
