They range from high school seniors to post-graduate professionals. They have interests spanning from journalism to engineering. It goes without saying that they have devotion to various arts and talents. Pageant training will not only focus on the competition elements but also on community service and leadership/teamwork. Tentatively, the half-year schedule will include participating in the PBS Channel 8 telethon fund-raising and Phoenix Children抯 Hospital, as well as visits with prominent Chinese American office holders on the Chandler City Council and the Arizona State Senate. The Pageant will be held in the Auditorium of Phoenix College, which is centrally located for the entire metropolitan area. A full suite of Chinese and other entertainment will also mark this as a special occasion for the entire community, which our Association has been privileged to present for nearly 50 years.
