across the nation that are participating in surveys such as this, said Holliday. This survey will be extremely effective,” assured Holliday. "Now we have so much information and

we won’t have to start from square one."

Holliday encourages more communities to do a survey such as this. She has suggestions from her own experience to help those who would do something similar to this.

"Check the Internet first,” advised Holliday, "to find what other communities have done. Research

the different types of surveys you can use. Come together as a community and find what you need. Then, pull up your sleeves and get busy!”

San Antonio, not Gary, to host 2003 Miss USA pageant

GARY, Ind. (AP) - Gary, which has hosted the Miss USA pageant for two years, will not host next year’s event Instead, the pageant will go to San Antonio. Officials in Gary made the announcement Monday. The city’s two-year contract with pageant owners included a third-year option.

The Times ofMunster reported Tuesday that San Antonio had been selected to host the 2003 pageant scheduled for March. The San Antonio City Council is to vote Thursday on a request to use tax funds to host the event

Pageant officials did not comment immediately. A spokeswoman for Miss USA said organizers had not ruled out return-

ing to Gaiy someday. “We’ve decided not to end our

relationship with Gary, but to postpone it and possibly do a future show there,” Mary HilliardMcMillan said.

With the help of a Miss Texas pageant official, San Antonio Mayor Ed Garza got a meeting with real estate magnate Donald Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe Organization, the pageant’s parent company. The Garza-Trump meeting, held two months ago, helped start negotiations to lure the beauty contest to the Alamo city, the San Antonio Express-News reported in Tuesday’s editions. Dale Lockett, acting director of the San Antonio Convention &

Visitors Bureau, said San Antonio would get about $2 million worth of media exposure from the pageant, making the $500,000 it would cost the city to host the event worth it The City Council and the mayor must approve the expenditure. Besides the $500,000, the city would have to shell out2,600 free and discounted hotel room nights over three weeks to land the event which is at least 50 years old. This year, Miss USA is scheduled to be broadcast nationwide March 24 on NBC. Previously, the event was on CBS.
