ESABA - Getting Geared, Get Lucky?

June 23, 2026

Greetings!

This week ESABA's Keep It Open E7th Page hosts deals and invites you to shop and ask about $5 Construction Bucks. Here are a group of funders taking a break for ice cream at La Michocana Purepecha (Mary Anne Quiroz in the foreground from Indigenous Roots).

We're getting these $5 Gift Certificates into participating stores this week including all the ones who are offering deals. If you shop and ask you could get lucky and be one of the first to get a FREE boost to keep you shopping. All Gift Certificates will be in place July 1.

Calling Arcade Businesses: We heard from Mission Auto as the first business we'll be including in the button program to help E7th AND promote Arcade. Contact Paris to learn more.
