Jan 4 , 2017 

It's a new year. Hoping for an unlikely thaw, I offer you a prediction or two and a resolution. 

The City of St. Paul is exploring a Sustainable To Go packaging ordinance that will affect every retail food business on the East Side. Today's listening session at the East Side Enterprise Center demonstrated that more voices are needed. You need to know about this if you serve food, or eat food. This will be big this year - and good if you get involved... prediction number one. 

Next week is our ESABA Annual Meeting Thursday Jan 12th. See the nominated businesses below and vote for your picks for East Side Busine ss of the Year and our Commitment to the Community Award. Then join us next week on Thursday. We'll also elect a new slate of Board Members, eat delicious food, and have the kind of ESABA fun only we can have. You'll want to be there: prediction two.

Prediction number three, 2017 is going to be a dynamite roller coaster. No matter what you think of that, we are happier when we proceed together, healthier when we think things through, and generally more likable and successful when we eat cake. 

Resolution: This year, I won't miss our chances to celebrate and support each other... starting next week at our Annual Meeting. Join me.

Sustainable To Go Packaging - Business Listening Sessions  

The City of Saint Paul is exploring ordinance changes that would limit the type of  packaging allowed for "To Go" food. Similar to the "Green to-go" ordinance in Minneapolis, food and beverages prepared for immediate consumption and to-go would be required to be placed in environmentally acceptable packaging.
 
Let your voice be heard
As part of the City of Saint Paul's work on ordinance changes, we would like to ensure the voices of business owners and operators are heard and incorporated into decision making.

Session Next:
Thursday January 5th, 2017
2:00pm-3:00pm
Rondo Community Center, Multipurpose Room

461 Dale St N, St Paul, MN 55104

Spanish and Hmong Interpreters will be available for both sessions.
