Greetings!

There are some things you can just count on. You can keep time by the good things East Siders are rallying to do together. Jump in today with National Night Out at The Beloved's Block Party or volunteer today at the East Side Freedom Library's NNO Event where you could learn what a nyckelharpa is, see a Pick-Up Truck Opera, and join the drumming. Then check out Visit Saint Paul's launch of Future Finder for Hospitality Employee Appreciation month - great things here for East Side employers to use to support workers and find workers. Then jump around - we have 45 people signed up for the ESABA Networking at the Saints Game. To get us to 50, can we count you in?
