April 7, 2026


Greetings!


When the snow continues to fly in MN, it's never too early to plan for May. We're invited to join the Small Business Summit and if you want to vendor, consider that now. See all the details here. This week join Women Venture Overview and Leadership Development with Seventh Day Adventists and the East Side YMCA. Then get ready for Wine Tasting with the East Park Lions and Party Time Liquors - Apr 14 and the East Side Resistance Art & Craft Market - Apr 18 at Indigenous Roots. We've also got MnDOT Construction Office Hours for E7th at Roots Cafe and we'll join Apr 16 for ESABA networking and Buy Vocal.


And check out the opportunities we're joining this month below for Earth Month: Love that East Side? We're caring for it like it's the only one we have.
