Morven Las Amigas member Pat McCoy was crowned as the chapter’s queen during the 2017-2018 South West Regional Queens’ contest on March 25.
The event was held during the Las Amigas Southwest regional meeting, hosted by the Greenville, South Carolina chapter. Five chapters attended the meeting and each chapter had a participant to represent their chapter during the annual queens’ contest.
