In this week’s digest: A charity you can support ahead of the holidays, a new drive-in movie theater, and Dynamo/Dash season tickets for local businesses.

 

The gift of books

Giving Tuesday just passed, but you can still support/volunteer for EaDo’s Books For Development, which ships books near (Harris County Chaplains) and far (libraries and churches in Eastern Uganda). They expect to ship their 1 millionth book since opening early next year.

 

A new movie-viewing experience

EaDo residents have a new nearby movie theater to enjoy. Rooftop Cinema Club is moving from Sawyer Yards to 2300 Runnels. Hot tip: pick up some sweet treats at Tout Suite (closes 11 p.m. every night) on your way to the movie! 

 

An opportunity for EaDo businesses to network

Business founders can now join the newly launched Dynamo & Dash Chamber of Commerce. Members will receive season tickets to both Houston Dynamo FC and Houston Dash matches, plus invitations to quarterly business networking events.
