‼️Shout Out‼️

Let me also spotlight this business professional for his extraordinary work ethic and customer service.
John McMillon III

And last—but certainly not least—

This is Major
to Mr. John McMillon III, business associate and friend, owner of MasterMounted Media Solutions.

When it mattered most, he showed up.!!

John provided same-day service to ensure our technology were fully operational for grand opening day. And that level of commitment didn’t stop there—
He returned at 9:00 PM, rolled up his sleeves, and professionally installed our 48-inch TV for our menu display—making sure everything was done right, clean, and ready for service.

That’s not just service—that’s work ethic, reliability, and excellence.

Everything was executed with precision, professionalism, and care.

John didn’t have to do that—but he did.

And that speaks loud!📢.

If you’re looking for professional TV installation, wall mounting, or media setup, I highly recommend MasterMounted Media Solutions.

Thank you, John, for showing up, stepping in, and helping us deliver on a major moment. We appreciate you sir.

‼️🏛️ Mayor Sam Cunningham for Waukegan Mayor
Shoutout

Last but certainly not least—

A heartfelt and honorable shoutout to Mr. Mayor Sam Cunningham of the City of Waukegan.

As the first Black Mayor ever elected in Waukegan, your leadership represents progress, legacy, and a deep commitment to the people and businesses of this city.
To see you show up and celebrate this historic moment with Gerdy's Gourmet Popcorn—a growing Black-owned business—meant more than words can express.

You didn’t just attend—you engaged.

You took time to speak with our youth, emphasizing the importance of discipline, strong work ethic, and showing up prepared. You poured into them with wisdom that will stay with them far beyond that day. Thank you Mayor ( I was watching you with them)

You stepped behind the counter, rolled up your sleeves, and served our veterans.

You connected with the VA staff and shared meaningful stories—including the legacy of your mother, the honorable Ms. Mary Ross-Cunningham, who faithfully served at the VA for over 20 years. That moment brought everything full circle.

This is what leadership looks like.

Presence. Service. Connection. Impact.

Mayor Cunningham—thank you for your continued service, your devotion to the City of Waukegan, and your unwavering support of our youth and our mission.

We appreciate you. Sir 🙌🏽
