SUMMARY:MLBA Legislative Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Dear MLBA members\, \nOnce again\, the MLBA will be partnering with the MMBA on our annual “Day at the Capitol” event. This year\, we’ll be meeting on Wednesday\, February 27. \nAgenda for Wednesday\, February 27: \n\n11:00 AM: Legislative Briefing at the State Office Building\, Room 300 North\n12:00 PM: Lunch (provided)\n12:30: PM – 4:00 PM: Individual legislative meetings and various speakers in SOB 300 North (we will schedule for you!)\n4:00 PM: Tasting Reception with political and industry leaders at the Best Western – Capitol Ridge NEW LOCATION\, NEXT TO THE CAPITOL\, (the former Kelly Inn)\n\nRegister today by clicking here. \nI can’t express the importance and urgency that you attend this year. We have a new governor\, and nearly a third of the members of the Minnesota House of Representatives will be new\, along with a new Commerce Committee Chair. (A full election recap from the MLBA is here.)  Proponents of wine and beer in grocery and convenience stores continue their fight for alcohol everywhere. In addition\, many want to give unprecedented and unfair regulatory advantages to a select few – production breweries and distilleries – at the direct expense of small and family-owned liquor retailers in favor of de-regulation of the liquor industry and the three-tier system. \nWe remain vigilant on minimum wage\, tax\, and gambling issues which will take on a larger statewide discussion in 2019.  We can’t become complacent. We must continue to be active in the legislative arena\, and we need everyone’s help. Our way of business depends on it! \nPlease join your fellow MLBA members and our colleagues with the MMBA on Wednesday\, February 27th for our Legislative Day. You can sign up by clicking this link. There is no cost to attend this event thanks to our generous sponsors\, and our team will schedule your individual legislative meetings for you. It’s easy – and important – to attend. I hope to see you there! \nSincerely\,\nTony Chesak\nExecutive Director\, MLBA

The way they act and treat other people is mind blowing. Absolutely no respect for others. My parents would have smacked me. They are so easily offended by everything and they think everyone is rude to them.” Bob Filipczak\, co-author of “Generations at Work: Managing the Clash of Boomers\, Gen Xers and Gen Yers in the Workplace” will present a field guide for monitoring Millennials and many more valuable tools for turning today’s multigenerational workforce into an organizational asset. \n“You Can Hire an Employee\, But You Can’t Hire a Manager” By Tom Shay\, Profits Plus Solutions\nSunday :: 2:30pm – 3:45pm\nThere are manager responsibilities and there are staff responsibilities.

Team Valu Plus Liquor came in second (-15) and Team Illinois Casualty 2 was third at -14. A special Grand Prize was given to the 28th place team (for the 28th annual Golf Outing). \nLunch was served before and during play (sponsored by IL Casualty and Anheuser-Busch) and dinner was served after the event (sponsored by IL Casualty) \nSpecial thanks to lunch and dinner sponsor Illinois Casualty Company; lunch sponsor Anheuser-Busch; water sponsor Arneson Distributing; Ice sponsor Ace Ice and all the hole sponsors! \nResults from the 2016 MLBA Golf Outing \n1st Place Team: Dirty Whooores:\nRyan Johnson\, Steve Johnson\, Jerry Johnson\, Trinity Dimich\n \n2nd Place: Valu Plus Liquors:\nMatt Belsaas\, Jake Hautman\, John Zins\, Ben Needham\n \n3rd Place: IL Casualty 2:\nHoward Beck\, Dana Privette\, Julia Suiter\, Tyler McNeely\n \nGrand Prize (28th Place\, for the 28th Annual MLBA Golf Outing):\nHerby’s of Carlos / West Central Food & Beverage Assoc.: Warren Swor\, Jack Chapin\, Mick N\, Herby Dahl\n \nLast Place Team\nA prize was given to the last place team\, but we will withhold their identity to avoid embarrassment! \nCheck Back Soon for Photos!!

Golfers will be able to sample products from wine\, beer and spirits vendors while on the course. There are several “contest holes” including longest drive\, longest putt\, closest to the pin\, closest to the line and two $10k hole-in-one contests! \nThe top 3 teams in the scramble format will get prizes donated by our great Allied Members and a “grand” prize will go out to the team that finishes 28th (for the 28th annual golf day). Even the team that finishes last usually gets a prize\, so you don’t have to be great golfers to get great prizes. Plus\, each participant will receive a “goodie bag” filled with great prizes. \nThe shotgun start begins at Noon sharp. Aside from free beverages on course\, golfers can take advantage of a free lunch “at the turn” sponsored by Anheuser-Busch. After the tournament (around 5:30pm)\, golfers will receive a nice banquet dinner and awards ceremony sponsored by Illinois Casualty Company. It’s a full day of fun and it’s a day members look forward to every year. We hope to see you there! \n  \n\nFrom Last Year’s Golf Outing: \nThe 27th Annual MLBA Golf Outing was again blessed with absolutely perfect weather for golf with temps in the low 70’s and partly cloudy skies. A record number of vendors greeted the golfers on every tee and there were multiple vendors on several tees. \nThe day started out with the 144 golfers getting a goodie bag with several hats and shirts as well as product sample and can coolers\, tee sets and much more donated by our great sponsors listed below. \nGolfers were then treated to lunch either before the Noon start or when they came trough the clubhouse all thanks to sponsors Illinois Casualty Company and Anheuser-Busch. After the round was completed\, several prizes were awarded for 1st – 3rd place teams in the Scramble as well as a Grand Prize for the 27th place team and several contests like longest drive and closest to the pin\, etc. \nA fine dinner was served compliments of our great Allied Member\, Illinois Casualty Company. See below for our list of sponsors and also the winning teams.
