The Miss Memorial Day Pageant works to introduce young
women to their government.  Our Queens become more aware
of their government and how it affects their lives. Government
Day is an opportunity for the girls to see first hand how their
government is running. The Queens  meet with female leaders
in state government, tour the Georgia State Capital, view the
House and Senate, enjoy the Georgia Museum, lunch at a
Federal Building, view jobs available in the governmental
sector, meet with the Governor and learn how bills become
laws.  They become more aware of how their state government
operates.  The Miss Memorial Day Pageant understands that
by removing the mystery of government, our youth will see
service to their state as a possibility when choosing a career in
the service to their country or state.  Voting and Volunteering
make great leaders and our state is always looking for
the next great leader.
