Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee

City of Lakewood
6000 Main Street SW
Lakewood 98499

Dear Mr. Higashiyuama,

The 9th Annual Or. Martin Luther King Celebration was a tremendous success. The reflection of our community
in both ethnic diversity and variety of talent was commendable.

We heard from many of the attendees that the event was informative and very entertaining. The message
both in word and song helped to underscore the true meaning of Dr. King's legacy.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.- represented by JoEthel Smith- is pleased to have been a partner with the
City of Lakewood to bring such a thought provoking and well executed event to our community. This on-going
program is an important thread in the fabric of the South Puget Sound community.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Sincerely,
Helen S. Henderson
President

Property owners unable to pick up and haul their own debris are recommended to contact a licensed landscaping company. The City is unable to provide any recommendations for companies. However, we encourage property owners to ensure any contractor they hire is licensed, registered, and bonded. Contact WA State Department of Labor and Industries ((800) 647-0982) or https://fortress.wa.gov/lni/bbip/ to check on contractors’ licensing.
