Greetings!

Gratitude for a great Annual Meeting last week! See highlights below including 6 Board Members, 5 lunch vendors heartily enjoyed and a few action items to multiply the money, even when it's this cold:
  • What would you do if you saved $200 A MONTH on your Trash Bill? - email Brian Sanders at Walter's to see how much you save with the 10% ESABA Member Deal.
  • What deal could you offer to bring in ESABA Members as your customers? Email Paris
  • What deals are you looking for? Email that too.
Let's multiply the dollars on our side of town...

Don't Miss:
City's Procurement Fair - Get that contract over to the East Side (Brrr!)
City's STAR Grant workshop - More Money for your East Side Project (when it warms up)
Lunch Bunch at Ho Ho Gourmet - Coming your way Feb 14th - multiplies a local dollar and feeds you, too... inside, over by the steaming buffet table. Ahhh.
ESABA's Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon was a great success!

Featured Speaker: Andy Olson - IDEAL Printers

and Business of the Year Awards, New Board Members and more.
