decorate their windows with positive images & messaging.
Shep's Brewing Co. and
Jim Driscoll's building will be our first locations, and a dozen artists have created lovely
hearts & rainbows for the windows, to be installed soon.
If you are interested, please email
jesse@auburndowntown.org.
Big thanks to those that have decorated their windows. It helps brighten our spirits!
Flower Power
Thanks to everyone that has participated in BID's downtown flower pot plantings. Sadly, per safety measures, we are not hosting these events as scheduled for May 16 & 23. Yet, do look forward to enjoying hanging flower baskets installed on the light poles at the end of May. The flowers have been growing since winter at Dickman Farms.
Funding Opportunities
US Chamber of Commerce Foundation just announced a new Save Small Business Fund with weekly ongoing $5,000 grants awarded to businesses with 3 - 20 employees.
Samuel Adams, with the support of the Greg Hill Foundation, is donating over $2,000,000 to kick start the Restaurant Strong Fund across 20-states to aid restaurant workers affected by COVID-19 closures.
Organizations can submit a request for operating support, or any other acute need. Please submit a letter explaining your circumstances & need, with measures to address it & other support received and/or sought; and your most recent financial statements. Email requests to:

Taking the 2020 Census is the perfect at home activity. Many
government funding streams rely on our numbers
