We'd Love Your Support
As many of you know, the city of Ann Arbor
A liquor license would allow us to offer wine and beer with our meals, wine classes, wine tastings, and much more. Also, fifty cents from each glass of wine sold will go to local nonprofit groups, with the first year’s donations supporting Food Gatherers.
Here’s what we need from you. Mary Campbell, owner of Everyday Wines and Everyday Cook, will be speaking very briefly at the city council meeting on Monday, November 19. As we understand it, a show of support from the community would seriously help our chances.
So here’s the deal: It won’t take much time. Come to the city council meeting at 7:00 PM, leave by 8:00 PM. If you have an hour to show your support for the Everyday Cook experience, we’d really appreciate it. Here’s the pertinent info:
City Council Meeting, Monday Nov. 19
2nd Floor, City Hall. 100 N. Fifth,
7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Plenty of free parking across the street at the Bank of Ann Arbor
Thanks very much for your support,
From the folks behind the counters and in the kitchen at Everyday Cook & Everyday Wines
