This week we charge toward Thursday and our  April Member Meeting  with some hot ideas on top: 
  • Our new Membership Committee is cooking up some ways for you to be involved
  • Gala is coming into focus including our first sponsors - Hurrah!
  • Programs Committee is looking for your input on what you'd like to learn this year.
  • Connect with East Side Arts Council to support a Summer of Art Mobile
Plus see some other ways for you to dive in including some great events at left including a morning with the Mayor and Family Values for Life, and a tour of Cornerstone Montessori and some venues to recruit potential employees with ESABA and Metro State and a new event in North St. Paul, all below.

And I'll just say: that snow melted mighty fast. Pick and choose some things to run with. Spring is on. See you Thursday!

Held at the MN Humanities Center at  987 Ivy Ave, we will reveal some of the most popular answers from this East Side 50 Favorites Campaign in a Family Feud format drawing on the opinions of our 100 guests!  We need two businesses to sponsor teams of 4 to represent them in our 50 Favorites Feud! Contact Paris at (651) 621-2766 or paris@esaba.org to sign up!

Sponsors! Our goal this year is to raise $5000 to continue outreach to small businesses, Latino and Hmong businesses, and emerging enterprises across the East Side. We'd like to thank Health PartnersTalecris Plasma Resources, and Anchor Paper for helping us achieve this goal by sponsoring already! We invite you to join them! Sponsorship includes marketing on ESABA's website, social media, two event mailings, monthly event announcements, and a press release to local media.
