THE SIZZLERS
The Sizzlin’ Seniors in Motion are available to entertain you. Our glitzy, glamorous Sizzler’s take you on a musical trip down Memory Lane at an affordable charge.
Our History
Dr. Al Mott, in the State of New Jersey in 1972, started the Senior America Pageant Program. In 1986, the California Chapter was created under the leadership of Ms. Elda Barry of Long Beach who led the chapter until her retirement in 1999. In 2000, I accepted the position of Director of Ms. Senior California and since that time, we have grown from one pageant to six Preliminary Pageants and one Annual State Pageant. In 2001, the formation of our Entertainment Troup - the "Sizzlin' Seniors in Motion" proved an instant success as the Troupe now entertains at over 50 events each year.
Our Pageants allow women who have reached the "age of elegance" to step into a spotlight of grace and dignity and accept the recognition they so richly deserve - in 2004 over sixty women participated in a Preliminary Pageant. Why are the California Pageants growing so quickly? Because the Ms. Senior America Philosophy is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America and our most valuable treasure.
If you are 60+ years in age, an American Citizen and would like to share the "Age of Elegance" experience please email me at: mssrcadirector@cox.net or phone at: 949 830 4187. Remember, "Shoot for the Moon - even if you miss, you will land among the Stars"
