What do you get for the entreprenuer that has everything? I know what you're thinking - a BMW. 

But seriously, a chance to take a break and not worry about the business is probably hitting closer to the mark. And it's not like you've got a couple extra Beemers sitting around. 

What I wish I could give you all is a chance to deepen, reflect, and refresh this season. To really take courage in the place we are planted and the moment we must take action in.

And hey, thanks to the Freedom Library and Lower Phalen Creek Project I don't even have to organize that. I can just promote what they've got going. It's like a gift they're giving all of us.

These are the kinds of gifts only the East Side could offer. Check out the listings below.

Finally don't forget to nominate. Business of the Year hangs in the balance...

PS - Due to the Holiday on Monday, January 1, we will not have an East Side Lunch Bunch on January 2. See you in the New Year!

Dakota Čhokáta Náziŋ and Mniówe

Thursday, December 28, 2017
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
East Side Freedom Library 

Join us with Healing Place Collaborative and Dakhóta Iápi Okhódakičhiye, who will share their Dakota Čhokáta Náziŋ and Mniówe. 

Čhokáta Náziŋ is a living and traveling gathering space for the Dakota language to be restrengthened through a deeper understanding of the interdependent relationships of the land, language and lifeways to the health and wellbeing of people that call Mnísota Makhóčhe (Minnesota) home.

Mniówe is a place for getting water and is the indigenized rendition of the esteemed "Water Bar." 
Co-sponsored by Lower Phalen Creek Project and East Side Freedom Library. Space is limited, please register to save a spot. Read more about this extraordinary event and partnership!
