Annual Meeting Recap

If there’s one night we look forward to all year, it’s this one. The Lakeview East Annual Meeting is our chance to celebrate the people and businesses that make this neighborhood what it is, and this year did not disappoint. From legacy staples to rising stars, every award winner brought something special to the table. It’s easy to talk about community, but this night is where you actually feel it. The energy, the pride, the “oh my god I love this place” of it all. Take a scroll through some moments from the night, and then meet the businesses that had their moment this year.
