IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE!
We are saddened to announce the death of our Miss Deaf Texas 2005-2007, Tara Rose McAvoy. She was killed on Monday, March 13th in Austin, Texas. Her friends and family will sorely miss Tara. Tara will always leave behind a legacy that will always be remembered. She represented Texas with dignity and pride and that will never be forgotten. Tara will always hold a special place in our hearts. Tara will be honored at the Miss Deaf America Pageant this summer in Palm Desert, California during the final night of the pageant. We want to express our deepest sympathy to Tara’s family during this time of loss.
As we remember Tara, our 1st runner-up, Johanna Valenta of San Antonio will now assume the role of Miss Deaf Texas 2006-2007. She will represent the Lone Star state of Texas at the Miss Deaf America Pageant this summer. Johanna has willingly accepted this role to continue the legacy of the pageant, as Tara would have wanted.
Please continue to support the pageant and support Johanna as she prepares to assume a big responsibility in such a short time. We, the Miss Deaf Texas Pageant committee and the Texas Association of the Deaf would appreciate your continuous support of the Miss Deaf Texas pageant. Contributions may still be given to help us send Johanna to California.
Respectfully submitted,
Laura Loeb Hill
