Subject: How much is owed to the contestants in scholarships from the 100th Anniversary year including the 100th Anniversary Miss America? Is that what she meant by paying only those debts that pertain to the reputation of Miss America? Causes there are a lot of contestants who have gotten screwed out of their scholarships. I would think to preserve MAO's reputation they should have been paid FIRST. Author: A lot of contestant debt could have been paid with that missing $200,000.

Subject Author Date The scholarships are not part of the debt outlined in the purchase agreement. Perhaps they should have been but they are not listed nor included in the pledged amount. The MAF played the shell game to stay relevant and now the unfunded scholarships of the past are not on the ledger. MAF failed in their duties. Shantel and her BOD failed in their duties. Not Robin's problem.The Pledge situation allows Robin to negotiate and determine the legitimacy of each claimed debt and those she determines are legal she will pay on her timetable as you see there is no deadline for that to happen. Seems you think she has to pay asap but that is not the deal. VEry telling that out of those 100 pages this is what you focus on. I suggest you read the Kerri Will lawsuit based on Straubs' attempt to put her into a sex for money contract, got her fired when she refused.

In order to pay MAO contestants any of their scholarships they (MAF) need to received said monies from Robin and that didnt happen after several requests. "But she had enought money to run Miss America fo 100 years but wasn't going pay Scholarship? That didnt happen. True owner owes the contestants. Before Laylah could purchase USA All debt had to be settled. Its the same . (NT) -- I wish Kerri well, but unless she is owed scholarship money from MAO , Her fight is not my fight., 10:50:56 09/14/24 Sat (ec2-54-193-198-179.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/54.193.198.179) Business deals do not work that way. Sorry. What Laylah agreed to is irrelevant. The sales agreement between MAOShantel and Robin made zero mention of scholarships owed or funds owed by MAOShantel to MAF. Therefore not legally obligated to pay them either directly or as part of the charted debts to which the pledge applied. Sorry. That is the case. MAF should have demanded publicly that Shantel actually turn over the funds for the scholarship awards she announced. Shantel kept announcing them but no monies went to MAF and they went along with pretending they were awarding scholarships. The four corners of a contract control the offer, acceptance and consideration. NOWHERE are the scholarships noted in the agreement Robin and Shantel etc signed. That is a real shame I know but that is on the former MAO and MAF leadership.

As I see it, as a former donor, a National program book was published and sold to thousands that listed scholarship amounts to be awarded by MAO. Whomever owns that name is responsible for this debt. (NT) -- I don't see MAF as the bad guy. I know girls who got their checks from MAF, Not from MAO tho., 13:55:39 09/14/24 Sat (ec2-3-145-136-100.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/3.145.136.100) Shantel led MAO represented to the world in that program book that it was awarding scholarships thru MAF but they never gave MAF the money. Why? Did MAO expect MAF to fund raise? Why did MAF si on the sidelines and year after year go along with this misprepresntation. The Girls owed money should sue Shantell and the MAO board members. I think Delaware allows suits for a few years against dissolved corporations. MAF should also be suing Shantel and her gang. But debts do not pass automatically. Sorry that is just how it is. I too wish Shantel actually funded the scholarships she announced but it is not Robin's responsibility.

I sincerely want to hear from the girls that year as well. Did Anyone get paid? Did Grace get paid? Someone needs to advocate for these young women. They should sue Shantel and their states programs (NT) -- Its false advertising when girls dont collect their $. I know I will never refer another young lady., 22:53:59 09/14/24 Sat (ec2-54-183-182-72.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/54.183.182.72) Robin did not own the pageant when Grace was crowned did she? If not how are those scholarship debts hers?

(NT) -- But I would hate to think there are 2 classes of contestants who didn't get paid., 22:24:01 09/16/24 Mon (ec2-13-57-188-29.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/13.57.188.29)
