Queen of the Bay Committee Answers Questions About Kendall Morgan

Late this evening the Queen of the Bay Committee issued a list of the prizes that were offered for last year’s pageant that Morgan won. On that list are the prizes that she has collected and the ones that the list states can be claimed at any time. It also addresses why Morgan’s name has not been added to the list of Queens of the Bay on the Memorial Park wall. The release explains that the plaque on the wall is new and was installed last year and that the committee has agreed that the names of the queens will be placed on the plaque when they have completed their year of reign. The committee also clarifies why Morgan’s photo does not appear on the September Celebrations calendar. It says that it was communicated to Morgan that the Queen of the Bay does not produce the calendar and has no influence over its contents. When the committee reached out to the National Celebrations Committee about the matter, the calendar had already gone to print. The committee also gives specific details at the bottom that Morgan was given due process and fair warning before the decision was taken to strip her of the title. It explains that Morgan was given a formal warning letter in January and subsequently invited to a meeting to discuss the contents of that warning letter with the National Committee. She had also reportedly met with former Queens and was given an opportunity to discuss her concerns when the issue of prizes was resolved as well. Finally, the committee adds that Morgan had written a letter of apology to the committee, and that she signed and acknowledged the decision to limit her interactions with the delegates this year because of her social media posts.
