East Side Classic vintage motorcycle show postponed, but still raising $$ for service industry folks
The annual East Side Classic vintage motorcycle show is usually held on Father’s Day weekend in the summer. They’ll be postponing to some other time until he future, but meanwhile are selling their 2020 shirt with proceeds going to Yellow Jacket Social club! What a cool way to make an event postponement positive and still be able to give back to the community - which they do during every event through raffle sales. While ESC may not happen this summer, you can still support them and support our local restaurant and service industry professionals by snagging a shirt!

Austin's Couch Potatoes handing out free face coverings
Austin's Couch Potatoes is handing out free face cloth face coverings at its three Austin locations on Saturday, April 25 from noon-3 p.m. From their FB page: We’ve always believed in more than just couches. We believe in community and taking care of each another. When this crisis started, we turned our factory around to start making gear to #FurnishTheFrontline. But we think everyone who needs to go out for work right now deserves to be protected too. We've put together a limited supply of baggied PPE masks, following every safety guideline we can to get them to you by drive-thru, for free.
