Greetings!!! On March 19, 2005 the RGV chapter held a tea party at the Vannie E. Cook Jr Cancer and Hematology Clinic in McAllen.  Unfortunately for me I did not realize not only was it Spring Break but the annual livestock show and rodeo was going on.  Only one patient showed up, which was a bit odd for me considering I have never had only one patient there with 12 queens and two clowns!!!  She honestly felt like a princess.  Girls had brought boas, candy bags, gift bags and we even raffled off a candy bouquet.

To help with the duties of the party were Miss Rio Grande Valley USA, Vanessa Segovia, Miss Rio Grande Valley Teen USA , Cassidy Klein, Miss Alamo Princess Mona Fliegel and Miss Alamo,   and Miss Mission Amanda Garcia.  The ladies from Clinique were once again so nice as to provide us with their services from the littles girls make up and nail polishes along with the new
scent from Clinique called Clinque Heart. We started off by painting the patients finger nails and toe nails because
the Clinique reps were a little late but once they arrived we went on the put on make up, in fact some of the patients became brave and decided to do the make up of our guests, including myself. We later ordered pizza from Pizza Hut after that we cut the cake then decided to crown our girls since it was around their nap time.  For the ones who were not cranky and could handle another hour or so we play Bingo. Over all it was a success. I was thrilled to see more patients there this time than last time, I am sure that once the word gets around the clinic on how much fun we had the next one will be an even bigger success.

On August 4, 2004 the QFAD Rio Grande Valley chapter held its second party of the year at the Vannie E Cook Jr Cancer and Hematology Clinic.  There were several queens and several patients.

The party was held from 2 pm until 4 pm.  It was during the week so we had many patients come through.  The girls made earrings, bracelets, and picture frames for their photos.
