ESABA - To the Last Roll

Aug 25, 2026

Greetings!

If it were time for summary statements about what ESABA has learned in the past 35 years, this week I'd submit this: "Happiness is a picnic in a free Blue Shirt with a Baby." (pictured - the crew from ANEW Chemical Health, one of our sponsors!) Wednesday Aug 26 ESABA @ Saints Picnic has 5 tickets left... let's sell it out and there will be plenty of fun for all!

Then it's time for the last roll: ESABA Member Swede Hollow Cafe invites you to say goodbye after 29 years. Give some love to Shirley and her family this weekend as Swede Hollow will close at the end of August. Once you're fueled up, you're right on time for MoveMN - East Side Transit Tour - Saturday, Aug 29.

Next week we'll feature the launch of Buttons, Bucks, and Deals - E7th Street in the spotlight.

ESNDC is looking for Business Development Program Manager

There is nothing like Swede Hollow Cafe! We will miss this and will look forward to what Shirley and her family do next. And what will come next to this Garden of Delights? (Wait and see)
