Weekly Update
July 24, 2018
Greetings!

This week your musts simply include a Pollinator Festival with Lower Phalen Creek Project and a massive group bike ride - Slow Roll with Move MN. It's bees and bikes for the East Side. Oh and a very special foray into the world of Solid Waste Hauling for Friday. There is no better way to kick off the weekend. Why is that? Because we're aiming to be more powerful by banding together. Email me if you want to learn more. A sneak peak at next week will leave you charging toward a listening session at Obb's where we want to hear from businesses about what priority steps the City could take to support you as you get your hands around an increase to the Minimum Wage plus opportunities to talk Budget with the Mayor on Saturday at The Goat or Sunday at Brunson's.

The chatter around here sounds a little like an active hive, or a group of bikes. Appropriate, right? Join the buzz.
Wed July 25th 5:30 - 7:30pm
