Greetings!

We're coming in hot for Tuesday. If last week was quietly simmering after a few days off, this week we're trampling toward a boil! Get geared up for our biggest Member Meeting of the Year - the Annual Meeting. Great place to share successes, meet motivated East Siders and grow your network. No Lunch Bunch this week. District 1 has something to say, on Jan 16 their hosting a meeting about Gold Line that looks hot and this from the Freedom Library - next week about the City Hall Murals is sure to be invigorating! For you this week, three ways you can drop into the zone and build some heat:

Last chance to nominate one of your East Side 50 Favorites for East Side Businesses of the Year.
