The Hazelwood City Council has let Lindsay Casmaer know how proud of her they are. At their meeting last week Casmaer was given a warm welcome and a proclamation honoring her as Miss Missouri 2007.
Casmaer served as Miss Hazelwood in 2000 and she was crowned Miss Missouri 2007 on June 9. She will represent the state of Missouri in the 2008 Miss America Pageant next year.
After the Proclamation was read then adopted by the council, Casmaer introduced her family: parents Dan and Pam Casmaer and grandparents Richard and Jeanne Casmaer.
She thanked the City Council for sponsoring her in a full page ad in the Miss Missouri program book. She announced that she won a $10,000 scholarship for winning the title and she won $500 from the Commerce Bank Community Service Award.
“I really am a product of this great city,” she told the council, “and I’ve always been proud to be a citizen of Hazelwood.”
“The Miss America organization is the largest contributor of scholarships in the United States and I am always encouraging young girls to participate in their communities and activities such as this,” she said. She urged them to learn more about the program on the Miss Missouri website.
She is a graduate of Hazelwood West High School, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a major in Bioscience and is currently working as a researcher at Washington University.
Mayor T. R. Carr presented her with the proclamation and said, “We are very proud of Lindsay Casmaer, Miss Missouri 2007. She is a bright, articulate and very capable young woman. She is a credit to her family and to the City of Hazelwood. We wish her the best as she competes for the title of Miss America in 2008.”
