Jan 8, 2025

Dear Paris,


Welcome to the New Year. We're betting 2025, like recent years, may have a ton of surprises in store and many of them will cause us to be grateful we know our neighbors, we trust businesses on the corridors, and we know someone we can call who will help us pick out the path amid the bafflement. ESABA aims to be there with you through it all. Watch this update for ways to get engaged. We'll be posting regularly about upcoming events and opportunities to work together with others to build the best East Side we can. Our ESABA Annual Meeting will be on Thursday Feb 13, 11-1pm. Want to put your name on the by line? We're looking for two presenting sponsors. Email Paris to learn more.


Put the date on your calendar and consider this question as you dig into January: "One thing I'm looking for on the East Side this year is____________..."
