Weekly Update
May 22, 2018
Greetings!

The Mayor and other city leaders hosted a first on Saturday - the State of Our City Summit at Johnson High School. Some fine speaking and some excellent singing and dancing, seriously all summits should be so lucky as to sport a first act by Aztec dancers from Indigenous Roots and the national anthem sung by Jannie and Mandy Chang (min 8) to bring down the house. In other words, all summits should be so lucky as to be held on the East Side. This event struck a chord with what ESABA is striving for: more opportunity to meet, listen to each other, work together, and seek solutions. Keep that spirit forefront this week. And hey with a "Feud" 9 days away we need your answers for a little frictional frivolity too! 50 Favorites Feud waiting for you.
We're fixin to Feud. We have 30 answers. We're looking for 100. Give us your answers now - Right Here to the questions that will culminate in our 50 Favorites Feud! 

We're looking for a few more bottles for wine for our Wine Throw - yes you read that right. Join Friends of Cornerstone, Merrick Community Services, and Meuller Memorial among others bringing us fantastic vino for this feature. Contact Paris .

This summit brought us into closer dialogue around 5 topics including $15 Minimum Wage, Organized Trash Collection, Community First Public Safety, Fair Housing College Savings Accounts and a chance to work together on what was called the "Budget Game" - the harrowing challenge to meet the needs in a balanced way.

You can follow the dialogue that is building about $15 Minimum Wage at the SPACC blog here .
The Johnson Mirror is published!

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
