Congrats to Matthew Karner. Winner of the 50/50 drawing. Proceeds go to the Village of Winthrop Harbor for park renovations. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets. Our new Miss Cornerstone titleholders, crowned the same day, drew the winning number live on our page. The girls had fun spending. A few hours at the carnival. It was a long day. Especially for our new Little Miss Shannon who started the day at 4 am winning a cheer competition.

Community 365, Inc. is proud to announce the TWENTY THREE young ladies we have participating in our Cornerstone Community Pageant this weekend. Thirteen will be competing for our four titles (Miss Cornerstone, Teen Miss Cornerstone, Junior Miss Cornerstone, and Little Miss Cornerstone) and the chance to represent our pageant at the Lake County Community Pageant in January where they will compete for Lake County titles. The remaining ten young ladies will participate in our non-competitive Lake County Princess Program.

Our peer-mentoring program teaches young ladies the importance of community service projects. Part of community service is how to raise money to make these ideas possible. Our contestants and princesses raise money for their projects by selling ads in our program and asking for people's choice donations. 100% of the money raised goes to the girls' projects and is kept right here in Lake County. We are a 501c3, so donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

To donate to a pageant contestant or princess, please select this link. Stay tuned to see who sells the most ads and is awarded our Entrepreneur of the Year and who collects the most money to become our People's Choice delegate for the year.

We hope to see everyone Saturday, September 12 @ 1 pm at the beautiful Zion-Benton Township High School Performing Arts Center to cheer on your favorite contestant. Lake County Princesses

Community 365 is absolutely proud of our Cornerstone Community Pageant and Lake County Princess groups.

Junior Miss Nichole and Little Miss Selena have served our community for the last year with heart and a little sense of humor. We are so proud of everything. These two girls have accomplished this year and cannot wait to see what they continue to do in their lives.

 Our Lake County Princess group is such a fun mentoring program for girls. They get to participate in fun activities while learning the importance of community and sisterhood.

Special thank you to Diel and Eddie for completely reworking our parade trailer.

And we can never forget to thank our amazing directors, Gianna, Erica, and Delainey and all the parents who walked with us. It takes a community, and we sure have a great one.

Come see our princesses get crowned at the pageant where we will find out who our new Cornerstone titleholders are. Saturday, September 12 at 1 PM at ZBTHS – performing art center.
