On
Friday March 14, 2008 the City of La Mesa and the City of Santee held one of
their most grand traditions, the Miss La Mesa and Miss Santee Pageants. The
pageants were held at 6:30pm at the Sonrise Community Church in Santee, CA.
This program has been a tradition in the cities since the late 1960’s
and is an outstanding mentoring program for young women.
After day filled with interviews,
speeches, evening gown competition and impromptu questions the 2007 queens
pass on the traditions and leadership roles of their community. A total of
over 35 young women from the east county entered the pageant in hopes of
becoming their new city ambassador. Honorable Mayor Randy Voepel and
Council Members John Minto and Dave Allen were in attendance and formally
