One of the underlying messages conveyed in the GLRAG survey was that neighborhood residents view many of the merchants as friends or even members of the family.

With that in mind, GLRAG formed a Promotions Committee to help bolster existing businesses. With Michael Castilla, Ursula Calderon and Ross Turner in the lead and printing services donated by Five Grain Graphics, GLRAG organized a Stub Club Promotion with twenty-five local businesses as members.

Currently, there are ongoing discussions about future promotional opportunities.

If you'd like to become involved in promoting our neighborhood businesses, please phone Ken Katz at 510 451-6537 or email ken@katzpjs.com.
