WONDERS NEVER CEASE!
A colleague has nominated me for the American Heart Association's "Woman of Distinction Award". What an honor! We walk through life doing things for others because we care. My devotion to AHA comes (no pun intended) from the heart. To be recognized for my efforts is truly a gift and I am thankful. I will keep you posted. Wish me luck.

Cabaret for a Cause II - February 7, 2009
Off to a Great Start!
2009 is off to a great start. On January 5, I was promoted at my place of business to become the Executive Assistant of Administration reporting to the Chairman/CEO! A great achievement! On January 7, I became a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and on January 11 I was notified of a very prestigeous award, the Mayor's Shinning Star Award for 2008! Hope the trend continues!!!
Spokesperson and Ambassador for the American Heart Association
Tonight I was blessed by becoming a spokesperson and ambassador for the American Heart Association! Those of you who either know me, or have read my bio understand the importance this achievement has on my life. Please help support the American Heart Association! February 6th is Go Red for Women Day. Encourage everyone you know and work with the wear red. You can also become a captain at your place of business and support Go Red by joining with AHA and developing a program whereby all employees wear red on February 6th, serve healthy food in your cafeteria and raise funds for AHA. For further information, please visit their website at www.Americanheart.org. I am encouraging my company to participate, please encourage your company as well. The better we get the word out about heart disease and its prevention, the better and healthier our children, our futures, will be!

Corporate Sponsorships
This week it was announced that Next Level Youth will receive a $7,000 sponsorship and the American Heart Association will receive a $5,000 sponsorship. This is extremely important to me as I am a member of both organizations and was responsible for gaining these funds. When I called the Vice President of Next Level to give him the good news, I began to cry listening to his words of appreciation and excitement. Below are photos of appearances with Next Level Youth and the American Heart Association.

American Heart Association Start! Walk at Mercer County Park
Thanks to all who joined the American Heart Association Start! Walk on Sunday, September 14th. There were over 3,000 attendees, so if I didn't get a chance to say hello, please understand. There are many other Start! walks planned and you can get further information by visiting the website below. Special thanks to Karen Stives for her support and hard work. Karen is a young woman who had to endure double by-pass surgery last year. How wonderful she took the time to not only do a television show I secured for her, but also show up bright and early for the walk.
Visit the Mrs New Jersey United States Website for information. Mrs. New Jersey United States 2009 could be you! A wonderful, growth rewarding experience for all! And it's a lot of fun!!!!! http://www.mrsnewjerseyus.com/app3.asp
Biography - Evelyn McCleod - Mrs. New Jersey United States 2008
Evelyn takes her role as Mrs. New Jersey to heart, and pumps her positive energy into her platform “Healthy, Happy, and Wise,” a program designed to help people live heart-healthy, and to encourage students to avoid substance abuse and destructive decisions. She never misses a beat when setting her mission into action as an Substance Abuse Commission member and $5000 fundraiser for the National Organization for Youth Safety. Evelyn serves on the American Heart Association’s Annual “Start! Walk” Committee, and implemented AHA sponsorship as a core program at her company. Evelyn is a dynamic woman, extremely gracious, and is a certified public speaker. She was recently honored to be among the top 12 women from across the country recognized by our national organization for the work she has been doing to raise awareness about women's health issues, especially heart disease. A certified public speaker and longstanding public servant, Evelyn knows the pulse of the people, having served as homeowner’s association President, and having twice been elected to the State of NJ Democratic Committee. What makes her “tick” is the love of her husband of 20 years, John, and her 19-year-old son, Marcus. Evelyn demonstrates that women can have it all - it just takes a lot of heart!
