GoFundMe set up for Monroe inclusive pizzeria

An Ottawa Lake woman is raising money for a pizzeria that will provide jobs for those with disabilities. Alicia LaZette, a former special education teacher, has her sights set on opening Rebel Pizza and Brews in downtown Monroe. She has set up a GoFundMe to cover essential startup costs. Her goal is to raise $2,800; she has raised $206 as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. More: Ralph Mahalak Jr. to be honored at Scouting dinner "There is a real need for this in my community," she wrote on the GoFundMe page. "If we can open in the next 6 to 9 months, this project could create about 15 to 20 full- and part-time positions." LaZette spent 10 years as a special education teacher, helping those with disabilities to learn job and life skills.
