come out and support  may have a lot of education i don't have a lot of experience most of our family members or service workers are so for you know coming from an immigrant background i didn't have that as a platform so i had to figure things out on my own and so coming back and seeing with the changing climate of the city especially in capitol hill international district the central district businesses have a show business it's a particularly but most minority small businesses are facing a lot of challenges with increased rent the demographics of the neighborhood changing so so we've been talking with some other small business owners and can you do to help solve the problem or maybe not solve the problem but maybe separated in chunks and seeing if we can find resources and or you know people that can we can bring to the table to help us  change and grow with the change in or in times seattle's growing we want to be part of that growth we want our businesses our house of businesses to be successful and so we're trying to see from learn from each other first started this about three years ago and they were trying to meet the needs of some businesses that are on twelve jefferson so they didn't inventory and they had talked to people and so and so since then it's been you know it's been a couple a year they're still going through but it's been a couple  s about two to three years so we were trying to capture that data and a way that that you know so we can see so we're trying to it's a service it's a basic service just kind of asking a business owner what are you going through are you is your business increasing as a decreasing just to see what the lay of the land is then toss so help other business owners to see if what what are the challenges that that most people are facing and what are some things that or maybe this business owner is facing this challenge yet another business owner you know that's not a challenge that's actually something that they're successful with so so the survey is we're trying to go to small businesses we've been working primarily with east african businesses in the central district capitol hill and international district but but it could be do you know it could be to any businesses in the area and it's just basically we don't really have an inventory have how many how should  are how many east african businesses are you know or what type of businesses and so this is kind of to see a stock of what what exists and like i said we're working just because the the limitation on time and resources we're working on a small area but there's no reason why we can't pass out the survey from lynwood to federal way or cross all of washington so it would be nice to have an inventory of what's what's available with their rank i don't see a lot of people are going to hear this and the question mail dot com so if you mail me that i can give you information like i said this is just november december so we've just been kind of organizing this for a couple months and then but moving forward probably before january first we're going to have a constant contact newsletter that comes out monthly and then we also have a google group e mail that we can start passing out but for now it's just my e mail and my phone number probably some of them from here on how to e mail us some of the business so determined to you can have the phone numbers to a six four three four six five seven ok we'll put this on the screen so everybody will absolutely and i think it's great that this made it so you one more time would you tell and i think there's others that do and so whether you're a restaurant real estate media call we just basically want to start a campaign you know we want to know who you are and what you're or if you have an event or if you if there's something you want to talk about your service also let us know and we can let the people that are at the meeting know it was too general fourteen that thank you and that wa
