Enjoy the best of high summer this week in Minnesota! Get out onto a patio and eat something inspiring, drink something refreshing. 

And in your musings on the lazy cottonwood seeds drifting through the air over everything, consider some of those things you thought you missed.

Turns out there is still time to get involved in our two events at the end of the summer.  7th Street LIVE and PABA Harvest Festival. And when you come back to the surface of your work later in the week there will still be summery things to look forward to. 

Like our  July Member Meeting which features input for new development with Lower Phalen Creek Project, Business Recycling... and we'll be  at Culver's. There. Still time to have the best of this beautiful season.

Lucky us!

CERT for All Small Businesses
 
Benefits of the CERT program are undeniable, so says Arif Ahmed, owner of Ali Mama's Sambusas, a restaurant on the East Side. But there can be challenges in getting set up to be CERT certified. On July 26th, one on one assistance in navigating the process is coming to us.
 
 
CERT qualifies you for the priority vendor list for things like the Super Bowl coming in 2018 and for vendor contracting with cities and counties. Assistance for Small Business Enterprises (SBE), Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Woman Business Enterprises (WBE) will be available at the workshop. Contact Paris if you have questions.
Sustainable to-go packaging
The City of Saint Paul is proposing an ordinance requiring all to-go food containers be reusable, recyclable, or compostable. We can help your business prepare for this change! Contact Paris for resources to help you understand what will be acceptable and available AND to services that can help you plan for the change and grant dollars too.
ESABA Greatly Appreciates the Support of Our Sponsors!
