Greetings!

This week come on over for Coffee Break on Oct 21 at The Beloved. We'll chat with Pastor Katie and talk about what you bring with you. Let your interests and concerns be caffeinated! Then we've got a full table for the Guild event next week - a great opportunity to learn more about this new ESABA member and about each other. As you know, when it comes to voice and impact, you have to show up to be heard and counted. We'll keep giving you opportunities to answer that age old visibility question "How do you get your product to show up?" ...You show up.

Other places to make impact:
Holding on to a little Vegas... - Surveys still open and a picture from the trip below
