Greetings!

We've been working on Minimum Wage conversations and what the city can offer as they seek to change the conditions for labor in our city. This week we'll come together at ESABA October Member Meeting at Hmong Village to learn about current city services and resources for small businesses. 

We'll also dive head first into this question about Member Deals: How will we drive sales on the East Side and increase the chance that our businesses can make it? With every purchase. With every hire. It starts with attracting the people who are already here to cross your threshold and break bread. Want to multiply transactions on the East Side? Join us!

Plus:
Thursday October 11th - Hmong Village, 11:15-12:30pm

October Member Meeting focuses on services for businesses with the City of St. Paul and how we can join together to drive sales - Member Deals and offers for students at Metro State University.
