The event runs from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Hollys will cater the event, which also will include a cash bar with wine from Toddy's and beer from Alliance.

According to a release:

"This is Marleen's first attempt at running for public office. As a mother, architect, and career educator, she understands the importance of our neighborhoods, schools, commercial districts, and parks in creating a great quality of life, all contributing to a greater economic well-being of our county."
