Greetings!

Here are some events to make you proud this week - innovation on the East Side is always worth the price of admission. This week see what local food plus hard work equal in the collaboration at Rivoli Bluff. Urban Roots is putting the pieces together at their Grand Opening today. Speak up at two Open Houses for the Gold Line Corridor, and continue the long term relationship building that creates peace by stitching community networks at the 2nd Annual Community Peace Celebration. Also this is the last week to get your golf game in focus for the Family Values for Life Classic!

PS - Check out the Blend Award and see if your building might be a good spotlight for the East Side.
