Nora
Ali, America's Junior Miss 2007, Makes
Appearances in Washington DC
Nora's Ali,
America's Junior Miss for 2007, made
several appearances in Washington DC
recently. First, she met with Senator Amy
Klobuchar from Minnesota during an
open house she holds for constituents.
Nora lunched with Congressman Jo Bonner in
the members’ dining room at the Capitol and
briefly toured the area with him. Nora was
able to also meet Nancy Pelosi. The most
exciting part of the visit was Nora’s trip
to the White House Thursday evening. Nora
sat at a table with Condoleezza Rice, and
spoke with her about Junior Miss. They were
just 10 feet from where President Bush sat
and only 5 feet from where he spoke.
