Weekly Update
June 19, 2018
Greetings!

Rain plus heat equals growing - including ESABA thanks to all the incredible support at our Annual Gala "Rooted on the East Side". We've met our goal and are stretching those roots to support you with access to resources like the watershed district and BizRecycling - both with free assessments and funding for projects. Summer's a good time to reach out and learn more when your imagination can run wild. And then dig in: A chance to give back with Twin Cities Pet Rescue at St. Paul's Flat Earth, an opportunity to volunteer with the Lions, and to sit down and break bread at Community Dinners at Mississippi Market. Tis the season of going and growing as far as the eye can see.

PS - See Urban Roots in the Women's Directory this month - amazing things are growing with gardens and youth. Right on!














Gala Goodness Continues to Give

The next four businesses to sign up for a free assessment that can help you save on solid waste fees will win free Saints Tickets.

The pets are calling and if you feel like answering, this event could use some items for Silent Auction and Raffle. Contact Martin here: Donation Request Letter
East Side Lions are roaring away with summer plans to build a stronger East Side. Lions often help with projects that are falling through the cracks to make our community stronger.

They are inviting us to join them for some of their main fundraising efforts as they host the bingo tents at upcoming events.


District 1 clean-up day is coming up fast. Volunteers are needed to make this an efficient and effective day to clear out and make way for... well maybe just some open space for a minute. It's your garage. You decide.
