Proud to sponsor Miss HB Scholarship Program & Pageant
Did you know this important program began in 1904 when a young girl was chosen as “Miss Liberty” on July 4th by the Chamber of Commerce? Since then, the program has evolved to focus on educational goals and community service.
Scholarships for winners are funded by donations from local businesses, charity partners, and people like you. The pageant looks for young women who are confident, poised, career-minded, hard-working, and compassionate. During their term, the court are active within the community, making public appearances monthly at civic and business events.
We were honored to welcome the 2022-23 Miss HB, Katie Chrisman, and her court, Princess Roslyn Brown-Bilyeu, and Princess Coral Gangitano, to our credit union headquarters. We enjoyed speaking with them and look forward to seeing what the future holds for these outstanding young women.
A new court for 2023-24 was just announced: Congratulations to the 111th Miss Huntington Beach Ruby Brown-Bilyeu and her court, Princess Stella Scott, and Princess Lainie Shield.

Keeping ghouls and goblins safe
Halloween is around the corner, so it’s a good time to review some safety tips to make sure it’s a fun-filled time!
Costumes
- Only wear costumes labeled flame resistant. If making a costume, use only flame-resistant fabrics
- Be sure costumes are bright and reflective or add strips of reflective tape to make sure the costume is visible.
- Consider face painting and hats instead of masks that can obscure vision
- Give all kids glow sticks or flashlights to be seen by drivers
Drivers
- Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 to 9:30 pm. Be especially alert for kids during these hours.
- Be especially cautious in residential neighborhoods, as kids will move in unpredictable ways
- Turn headlines on earlier in the day to spot pedestrians from greater distances
- Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully, as kids will be crossing them
- Be extra cautious at intersections, medians, and curbs
Walking
- Be sure you and kids always cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
- Use the old rule — look left, right, and left again when crossing the streets and keep looking as you cross
- Always walk on sidewalks and paths
- Remind kids to never dart out into street
We want everyone to have a fun Halloween!
