YOUR FAVORITE FURNITURE STORE FRINGE INTERIOR DESIGN & HOME FURNISHINGS KRISTEN BENTRUP, JESSICA FORSTON & JOHN EDBAUER, ASID

Voted as Best Home Accessories and Furniture Store of 2018, Fringe is certainly not your typical furniture store. Owners Jessica Forston and John Edbauer have created a fun, low-pressure atmosphere unlike other stores. Their showroom has distinctive furniture, art, lamps, area rugs and accessories.

Not only is Fringe the best of its kind, but the honest design service you receive in making sure you don’t make any costly mistakes is key to

their business. “Honesty is what we thrive on. We want to make sure we give you the best options and are realistic about it at the same time,” Forston says, “from choosing the correct paint color for your room to space planning to perfection.”

“We have such a unique mix of comfort and style,” added Edbauer, “for family-friendly or for the single life. It definitely sets us apart!”

MATCHMAKING

SHAWN ALDERTON, CEO & PROFESSIONAL CERTIFIED MATCHMAKER AFFLUENT AMORE MATCHMAKERS She is known as the "Queen of Matchmaking!" Shawn has taken the Milwaukee, Chicago and the entire Midwest singles market by storm with her now several years of experience in matchmaking and over 10 years as an executive recruiter.

First comes the introduction and then, after receiving initial feedback from both parties, "it's a match" is confirmed! "One of the best parts of my job is hearing back from my clients... 'We are engaged, Shawn' or 'We are now happily married" says Shawn. "Truly nothing makes me happier."

Shawn became the Midwest's FIRST and ONLY certified matchmaker when she graduated from the top matchmaking school in NYC several years ago. "I only work with professional, successful men as my clients," explains Shawn. Women can join the matchmaker's database at absolutely no cost and then be introduced to her discerning gentlemen.

"The majority of my clients come to me because they are tired of wasting time and want to cut to the chase and find THE ONE," states Shawn. "Many male clients have previously selected the wrong partner for themselves and want to work with an expert to now choose a compatible life partner for the long run."

"I have also been really successful working with widowers," says Shawn.

"Getting back out there in the dating scene can be really challenging, especially for someone who has been with the same partner for over 30 years, and this is where my date coaching comes into play." Shawn helps her clients comfortably transition back into dating again, which is included as part of her service.

Shawn maintains an office in Milwaukee's Third Ward and has appeared several times on the Morning Blend show, CBS News and has been interviewed on numerous radio stations on her matchmaking expertise.

LAKE COUNTRY REAL ESTATE PAT BOLGER PAT BOLGER REALTY GROUP

Pat outsells most competitors and gets rave client reviews. To see what makes his business tick, you have to look beyond the obvious when you pay him a visit.

If you've never met Pat Bolger, you might picture him wearing a designer suit with a lavish, lakeside office to match. The truth is, Pat is not a showy guy. He's too busy visiting properties and making deals to worry about keeping up with the Joneses or what hangs on the walls of his office. His listings are Lake Country's finest homes with gorgeous views, outstanding architecture and charm. The nondescript strip mall that houses The Pat Bolger Realty Group office is a diamond in the rough.

When you walk in the office, you'll find a supersized black leather couch in the waiting area and a flat-screen TV tuned to SportsCenter. Most of the action takes place in a large room lined with whiteboards that track active listings, active buyers and the progress of sold transactions. A big dining room table has been converted into Pat’s desk, with all of his active files within his reach on the tabletop. Dozens of real estate awards are piled up in the corner. Their placement reveals that he’s a little uncomfortable with accolades. When asked if he plans to hang them, he laughs and says "No, probably not."

Focus is a part of Pat's master plan. He concentrates on what he knows, and he knows Lake Country like the back of his hand. Bolger doesn't have to research the lakes. He already knows the difference between good frontage and bad, where the weeds and stumps are, and where you'll find the best spots for swimming and water-skiing. "I do a video campaign every week featuring the best shops, restaurants, cool things and the people who make Lake Country living special. It's a lot of fun and people are watching. We post our videos through social media and consistently draw more than 12,000 viewers."

Bolger's mastery in garnering a digital audience brings us back to the art of exposure, something he appears to have down, well, pat. He has assembled his own dream team of experts in home staging, photography, videography, and writing. "More exposure with quality material means more money for my clients and that's a win." Just don't try giving credit to the unassuming king. "My clients are my partners. After all, it's their home and their money.

We get the job done together. Their success is my success."

2018 is a big year for Special Olympics. Fifty years ago, Special Olympics began the difficult task of making a more accepting world for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Familiar with Special Olympics as they may be, most Milwaukeeans probably don’t realize the city’s proximity to the genesis of what is now a worldwide movement that includes more than 5 million athletes in 172 countries.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of Special Olympics and sister of President John F. Kennedy, initiated the movement when she held the first Special Olympics International Summer Games at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 20, 1968.

PICS USA GA

Kennedy Shriver’s sister Rosemary lived most of her life at St. Coletta of Wisconsin in Jefferson, and her life with an intellectual disability is often credited as inspiring the creation of Special Olympics. The first Wisconsin state event took place in West Allis in 1969, just a year after those first fateful Special Olympics Games in Chicago.

Now, Special Olympics is a full-scale Inclusion Revolution.

“Let us begin the Olympics,” Kennedy Shriver said 50 years ago.

“Let us begin the next 50 years of Special Olympics,” we say now.

It wasn’t an accident that Tracy Coenen became a forensic accountant.

She always had an interest in the criminal justice system, with an eye toward becoming a prison warden.

Being a solo practitioner limits the number of cases Tracy can take on, but she loves the flexibility it provides. She gets to work personally with each of her clients to ensure a quality work product.

While attending Marquette University, a specialty class in the criminology program called Financial Crime Investigation was enough to hook Tracy.

When finding lost or hidden money, Tracy is skilled at presenting the numbers in a very understandable way. The movement of money in fraud cases can be confusing, and her ability to tell a story and draw a picture is invaluable.

She worked as a financial statement auditor at the “Big Six” firm Arthur Andersen before moving to a small forensic accounting firm to learn the art of fraud investigations. Tracy stepped out on her own more than 18 years ago to start Sequence Inc., where she works exclusively in the area of forensic accounting.

Whether it’s a divorce, a business deal gone bad, or a case of corporate fraud or embezzlement, Tracy can make sense of complicated financial situations and figure out exactly where the money went.

SHARON LYNNE WILSON CENTER FOR THE ARTS

An esteemed arts leader for 34 years, Anna M. Thompson joined the Greater Milwaukee community this May as the executive director of the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. Anna comes to the Wilson Center from the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she served for 2 1/2 years as the associate vice president and executive director, overseeing a $4.8 million budget and producing and presenting more than 700 performances, residencies and events annually. Previously a music educator, Anna served for eight years as executive director of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Judd and Mary Lou Leighton Director for the Performing Arts at University of Notre Dame. Anna also spent 10 years in Minnesota at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. Before that, she served for 14 years as an arts

Anna was drawn to the Wilson Center for its remarkable architecture, beautiful setting, diverse programming, demonstrated commitment to collaboration and mission to be the catalyst for lifelong discovery and exploration of the arts. Situated in Brookfield’s beautiful Mitchell Park, the Wilson Center has served as a west-side anchor in Milwaukee’s vibrant arts community since opening its doors in 2002, with yearround performances, arts education programs, classes, exhibitions, festivals, and special events.

The Salvation Army is an international faith-based organization and the largest social services agency in the world. Since 1977, services for homeless and low-income individuals and families have been at the heart of The Salvation Army's work in Milwaukee, as it helps to provide the most basic needs of shelter, food, clothing and medical attention.

In Milwaukee, The Salvation Army operates a 120-bed homeless shelter, the Emergency Lodge, which provides case management, employment services, and an on-site medical clinic.

Additional social services include: the Pathway of Hope program, permanent and transitional housing, protective payee services, emergency assistance, food pantries, and seasonal programs such as Coats for Kids, Toy Shop, Backpacks for Kids, and Feed the Kids, a summer program that distributes free lunches at sites across the city.

Case managers, medical personnel and other staff begin the process of providing each person opportunities to become healthy, employed, hopeful and independent from the moment an individual or family enters The Salvation Army's programs. The staff recognizes the skills and talents of each person and provides an environment that encourages and promotes self-worth and hope.

Since needs are ever-changing, The Salvation Army continuously plans and evaluates services in order to ensure the integrity and dignity of those served.

To learn more about The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County Social Services, visit www.SAmilwaukee.org or call 414-302-4300. Connect with them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get daily updates.

|

BOUTIQUE PHOTOGRAPHER

For over two decades, Linda Smallpage, owner of Boutique Photographer, has been the woman behind the lens creating images of Milwaukee business owners. Specializing in photographing people, she’s uniquely talented at capturing the true character and genuine expressions of each individual.

“Location, Location, Location” inspired the 2018 Faces of Milwaukee photo shoot. Over a month of photo shoots, the Faces behind successful Milwaukee businesses were photographed in a setting uniquely chosen for each portrait. Orchestrating a professional photograph, Linda is a pro at juggling all the necessary logistics. Finding a sunrise setting to photograph a truck, working on a site when a 100 children on a field trip are unexpectedly having lunch, booking a time where all 26 people on a team can be available, and keeping the lights from blowing over on a windy

day are all part of the endeavors behind the scenes. Clearly the Faces of Milwaukee photo shoot is a dream job for this seasoned photographer!

Linda sees the potential of a portrait location, directs the photo shoot to represent the brand and helps people relax on camera. She’s a natural choice of photographer for the Faces of Milwaukee for her second year in a row.

The most recurring theme Linda heard from those photographed is their success is possible because of the remarkable team of people they surround themselves with. However successful, not everyone is eager to get in front of the camera, so Linda appreciates all the the trust and energy invested in these portraits proudly presenting the Faces of Milwaukee.
