“John and I want to thank you so much for helping us turn “Wild Son” into a successful experience.  SMP turned out to be the perfect venue for us and so many people who attended had such great things to say about the space. You folks were great to us and both John and I appreciate it so much. Thank you!”
Champ Clark and John Mese, “Wild Son – the Testimony of Christian Brando”
