… and other upcoming events  PUBLIC NOTICE FROM NAG:

Our next NAG ACTION! meeting is coming up on Tues, July 6, and this month we will be focusing on “Why Shop Local?”  In the last few years, our neighborhood has seen an influx of chain stores and the loss of some beloved local businesses.  At the same time, many new, small entrepreneurs are moving in to North Brooklyn.  This meeting will address the benefits of supporting local businesses, and provide a forum for strategizing about how to keep our local businesses going strong in a struggling economy.  Lacey Tauber will present case studies and policy strategies from the Pratt Center for Community Development, Caitlin Dourmashkin of EWVIDCO will discuss the Northside Merchants Association, many local business owners will be on-hand, and we’ll even hear about a new effort to start a local currency for North Brooklyn and Bushwick.  Join us!
