Join us for a fun evening of collaborative art, drinks, and appetizers.  No art skills required.  At the end of the evening you'll go home with a truly one-of-a-kind art piece and some great memories.  Your new canvas could be brilliant - or a nightmare, but we guarantee you'll have a blast creating it! 

$35 includes 1 free drink, appetizer bar, game and materials.  This is a new game we invented based on a few classics and we can't wait to play it with you! 

(PG-13 humor) We don't want to make it awkward.

ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced today it will transition its Business Recovery Center in East St. Louis into a Disaster Loan Outreach Center to serve Illinois business owners, homeowners and renters impacted by the severe storm and flooding that occurred July 25-28, 2022.
“I encourage anyone who has not applied for a disaster loan to visit the center for one-on-one assistance. Our team is on the ground to help,” said Kem Fleming, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
Anyone referred to SBA by FEMA who has yet to complete their application can visit the Clyde Jordan Community Center for assistance with inputting their application. There is no cost to apply and no obligation to accept a loan. If an application is denied for a homeowner or renter, SBA automatically refers the applicant back to FEMA for potential additional grant consideration. SBA’s Customer Service Representatives are also available to answer questions about the disaster loan program, check an application’s status, and assist with reconsideration requests.
Please see the press release for the center’s location and hours.
Sherrod Schuler is the Public Affairs Lead for IL 17677, at 571-459-6601 (cell) or sherrod.schuler@sba.gov.
