In this season of increasing darkness and stillness, it's sometimes hard to find the time to reflect and connect. We move too fast to get a handle on and digest the experiences of the past year.
  • What meaningful things have you been a part of this year?
  • What nourishing relationships have helped you through?
At member meeting on Thursday, we collected under the banner of gratitude and brought some donations for the Merrick Food Shelf. We also focused on nominating choices for Businesses of the Year.  But as so many things at this time of year, the conversation didn't seem complete before it was time to move on .

This week as things wrap-up for some of your projects, take a moment to consider what businesses have made your year on the East Side memorable or better because they share this place with you. Let us know about them. We like to spread the word about those points in the tapestry where our community gets stronger and more vital.

Thanks for being a part of our journey this year! Happy returns to you and yours!
