Lenore Rendina - Elite Ms. Indiana Petite

Buongiorno Everyone!👑💝🌸

Yesterday I had the pleasure of volunteering at the NWI Food Bank’s Hunger Hike 2026 & had a wonderful time! 🎉🌟👏

So grateful for the opportunity to support the NWI Food Bank with my platform The Ripple Effect, and aid in their efforts to feed our community. I had such a fun time helping staff, connecting with the community, & assisting in setting up & serving breakfast & lunch at the event!

(Although, I must confess, blowing up that life-size beach ball about did me in!)🤣😭🤭

Have a look at some fun pics from the day! If you are local & looking to volunteer, please consider the Food Bank of NWI-feel free to reach out to me for more information or check out their website Food Bank of Northwest Indiana for details!

Ciao Bella Lovely People!
👑💝💫
I hope everyone is doing wonderfully. 🥰 Last weekend, I was honored to serve as a pageant judge American Miss Pageant at the beautiful Jw Marriott Indianapolis, Indiana.

Over Sunday & Monday, I served on an incredible panel of women, including my lovely Sister Queen, Ms. Indiana Petite, Kayla Breaux. We had the privilege of judging the Miss division (ages 19-25) and the Elite division (ages 26-39).

The distinguished contestants were judged across three categories:

⭐️Personal introductions
⭐️Evening gown
⭐️One-on-one interviews

And while I truly enjoyed each moment of the experience, what resonated with me most was the opportunity to meet each woman during her personal interview and listen to her share some of her life experiences & goals.

Opportunities like this remind me why my involvement in Petite USA is so special: a community of women supporting each other while getting glammed up? That’s my vibe! ☺️🪩💫💗

Meeting each of these inspiring women who are actively building their own positive futures & making meaningful change in their communities, & encouraging them from the judge's panel is a memory I will always cherish. ☮️💫🌸

A huge thank you to National American Miss and Rebecca Williams for the opportunity. I hope to be back again!✍️😉

Sending out special thanks to Village of Park Forest Freedom Hall - Park Forest for allowing me the privilege of joining in on the Labor Day Festivities over the past weekend! ❤️🎆💙

Celebrating in the parade with so many members of the PF community was a wonderful experience, & seeing so many familiar faces in the crowd, including former & current students, was pure joy! 💗(The only thing that gave me anxiety was the fear of running out of candy! 🍭😱)

I was also thrilled to be able to offer a “Crowns & Coloring” Activity Table & share some information with the community about Petite USA & my role as Elite Ms. Indiana Petite. 👑

I am so appreciative of the opportunities I have to share my support and time with the community where I raised my daughter and lived & taught for so many years! I love Park Forest & it will always hold a special place in my heart. ♥️✨

Ciao Bella Beautiful People! 👑💝💫

I am officially back for another year of excitement, challenging my personal growth, & bonding with the beautiful ladies of Petite USA🌟💃 So grateful for the opportunity!🥰🙏

I hope you will tune in for another year as I continue to learn the ropes! 🤭🤣😘XO

👑2027 Petite USA Titleholder Spotlight👑 Introducing Elite Ms. Indiana Petite, Lenore R.!💖 ✨Platform: For over two decades as a teacher in an underserved community, I have witnessed students face Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), including trauma, homelessness, and food insecurity, while also seeing their incredible courage and resilience. This inspired The Ripple Effect, my platform focused on turning lessons of social justice and compassion into community action. Through advocacy, volunteering, fundraising, and partnerships with local organizations, I work to combat inequity, support vulnerable populations, and foster emotional resilience. I am grateful to serve as your Elite Ms. Indiana Petite 2027 and look forward to an exciting year ahead with The Ripple Effect! 🌊💫💗 ✨Fun Fact: I am on a mission to visit all 50 state capitols! This past year I visited Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Vermont. I especially love exploring historic libraries and ornate domed ceilings.
