Every couple weeks you get some opportunity to step up and get on board. The price is right, you dig in, you get a little bit done. Here's your full serving of this brand of East Side fun.
  • Rushline is getting station area planning into gear with the Phalen Village stop (Johnson and Maryland). They are looking for voices they don't usually hear. Sound like most of us? Now's our chance. Email me.
  • Gala Team gets an invite to your door and we're already half sold! Get your tickets now and learn how your business can be featured at the event.
  • Cookie Cart launching, great opportunities to give back with Face to Face, and Merrick coming up and events at the Freedom Library keep you invested in the positive.
  • And this link sends an email directly to your legislator in support of Wakan Tipi Center at Bruce Vento - how cool is that!
  • Give us some input on programs you'd like to see at our ESABA Workshop Survey link. And read below about where your neighbors are going with their trash...  

A better place. Plenty of room for you to shape the future. Dig in and make your mark, everyone. Nobody stopping us from showing up right where we're planted and doing as much good as we can.
One corner at a time,

ESABA Gala is Warming up!
Get Tickets Here!
On May 31st, ESABA's annual fundraiser will celebrate all the good rooted on the East Side! This year we've been asking, "What's your East Side Favorite?" of our members and customers. 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! 

And thanks to Sponsors we have a full compliment for our 50 Favorites Feud!

We're looking for silent auction items and gift cards! Promote your business at the event by contributing to our Gift Card Wall - we're looking for 50 Gift Cards (valued at $15+) or to our Silent Auction (Value $50+). Contact Paris.

Overpaying for trash collection?
Last week, LEDC and BizRecycling met with some ESABA businesses to talk about trash hauling. Here's what we heard:

  • Our businesses are getting charged very different prices for the same service
  • Service can be inconsistent and fees change without notice
  • We need businesses to join together and make a collective bid for good, consistent, low-cost service from trash haulers

    • If you're a business owner interested in seeing what kind of bids we could get together, send ESABA a copy of your monthly invoice and/or your hauling contract. We are creating a bid for better service.

    Contact Paris at  651.621.2766 or paris@esaba.org or Logan at logan@esaba.org for more information.
