The Ms. Colorado Senior America Pageant (MCSAP, Inc.) has appointed Debbie Buczkowski of Aurora as the new Colorado State Pageant Administrator.
Debbie brings a great deal of experience to the position. She was crowned Ms. Colorado Senior America in 2012, and placed in the “Top Ten” at the national Ms. Senior America Pageant that year.
Following her reign, she wanted to be more involved in the organization which provides the opportunity for senior women to continue using their talents and spirit of volunteerism to give back to their communities. Debbie served as co-president in 2013-14 and president in 2014-15. Following the resignation of the previous State Pageant Administrator, Sandy Ratajik, Debbie served on the Administrative Board and assumed the responsibilities of the position.
Debbie continues to be actively involved in the organization even though she works full time at Da-Vita, has 3 children and 6 grandchildren, and has been battling M.S. for over 28 years.
She is excited to take on this new role, which includes serving as Production Manager for the upcoming 2016 Ms. Colorado Senior America Pageant on April 17, 2016, at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, Lakewood. She, along with other members, present an entertaining production that showcases the contestants vying for the title of Ms. Colorado Senior America 2016.
Contestants are now being sought to compete in 2016. Do you exemplify the inner beauty and dignity of a Ms. Colorado Senior America? For more information visit www.colosramerica.com/.
