at Around The Corner, while many might think it is because of Around the Corner's ability to
make any party or celebration better, I thought it was more the make-up of the people there.
The group that came out to support Matt's run for re-election of Lakewood School Board where
he is currently the President, crossed all party lines, economic demographics, knocking down
cultural divides as really gave a sound representation of what Lakewood is right now. It was
refreshing to go to a political event where politics took a back seat to great conversation from
fellow Lakewoodites about Lakewood Schools and the city.

Some of the hosts for the evening, Cathy and Vince Frantz and Nadhal Eadeh.

Half way through the night, the Marklings thank all for coming. It was a good party of very
diverse Lakewoodites, having fun together!

Kristine Pagsuyoin, Regina Westlake and Ryan Salo share a laugh.

Ryan Krivosh, with our bartender for the event. As always Around the Corner did a
magnificent job hosting the party and providing everything that was needed. I am so
happy to see Ryan at the helm of the Krivosh empire, good family, good kid. Great venue
for any event. Warehouse, Patio, Side Bar, Main Bar and now Three Birds, and their Patio.

The Marklings at the door thanking all for stopping by and sharing the evening with them,
their supporters and friends. I have to admit it was a pleasure attending a political event
that had zero politics, it truly was like neighbors just talking about Lakewood.
Thank you both.
