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!

What are you doing to stay active?
Parks improve our physical and psychological health and strengthen our communities. While the #StayAtHomeATX order requires residents to stay home as much as possible, you CAN use Austin’s parks to get some fresh air! Just remember to keep a 6-foot distance between yourself and other people.
