This past week was spent with some very lovely and accomplished young ladies of the Gurnee, IL community. I was asked to be a part of the judges panel, starting with interview last Wednesday and the final pageant Saturday afternoon.
As hard as it is to chose someone who will be right for the job (this group is heavily involved in community service and very active during their reign ), it's exciting to hear about the things these girls do already for their town and surrounding areas and how they will use the title to serve. I am proud of our area youth, and consider it an honor to have gotten to meet such driven young people. I am also sending a big thank you to their parent's for instilling values and pride in themselves and where they live.
Special thanks also to Jenni Carlson, director and former Miss Gurnee, for asking me to be a part of this. I look forward to working with your girls in the future! Thank you also to the rest of our judges who were delightful to meet!
I'm sad to say that I don't have many pictures. This was a job for me to take care of and be thorough in, so the camera wasn't with me until it was time to leave. :) I hope you'll take the time to check out the website and blog!
