Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to take a look at the free guides I put out there on Eddie’s List. It’s important info to help vulnerable communities, avoid tickets, create awareness around scams, build community, reduce vehicle break-ins, bike thefts, & garage break-ins, save money, find free/affordable things to do beyond what’s included in the weekly email, artists’ grants, tips on how/where to promote events, and a whole lot more.
I rely on your feedback, likes etc. to assess which ones to update. If there lists, resources or info you would like to see, please use the survey.
