One-day wine-and-malt license approved for Mujeres Despechadas event at 420 Common Street
Summary
The board granted a one-day wine-and-malt license for a karaoke event billed by Mujeres Despechadas; the organizer confirmed prior approvals and discussed purchase source for alcohol.
The Lawrence Licensing Board approved a one-day wine-and-malt license July 23 for an event hosted by a group calling itself Mujeres Despechadas at 420 Common Street.
Rosa Mori, who identified herself as "manager of the deli Mori," told the board the event is a women’s karaoke night to "relieve some stress," and she applied for beer and wine sales for the event. Licensing staff confirmed the applicant had received prior approvals for similar events at other venues and had previously moved locations.
Commissioner Laird asked the applicant to confirm that alcohol purchases would be through a beer distributor rather than from a liquor store; the applicant confirmed she would order from a distributor once she picked up the license. Lieutenant Olivieri and Lieutenant Frias reported no objections. Commissioner Morales moved to approve the one-day wine-and-malt license and the board voted in favor.
The board recorded no additional conditions beyond standard one-day license requirements. The applicant was instructed to pick up the license and then complete purchases through appropriate distributor channels.
