Thanks to everyone who came to Caribou Coffee on Detroit Road on Friday morning to help celebrate the first anniversary of Westlake Patch.

We couldn't have done it without all of you who share your stories, opinions and thoughts with us every day.

Despite the snow on Friday, Westlake area residents and employees came out to get a cup of coffee and join in the celebration. Regional Director Seema Jayaswal and I got to meet some new friends, see some old ones and hand out some coffee.

A big thank you goes to the Caribou Coffee staff for their warm welcome and all of their help.

Congratulations to Mike Zawacki, who entered in our drawing and won the $25 Caribou Coffee gift card!
