Dear Neighbors and Friends,

You are personally invited to a small get-together with Laura Rodriguez-Carbone. Laura is running for Lakewood City Council, Ward 1. As a supporter, I hope you will join me and get to know Laura. She wants to hear your issues, concerns, and hopes for Lakewood.

Not only is Laura a neighbor and resident, but for the past 17 years, Laura has worked to connect diverse community networks through advocacy and responsive community engagement. She has served on many of Northeast Ohio’s public and non-profit boards, including tenures on the Board of Trustees for the Hunger Network for Greater Cleveland, the Citizens Advisory Board of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, and the Empowerment Committee of the Hispanic Roundtable. She retains a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Cleveland State University, and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a concentration in Public Policy.

If you would like to bring other neighbors or friends, please do. Light refreshments will be served. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend.

I sincerely hope you will join us on March 9.

Kate McCarthy
