In these times, we grieve for all of the loss that we suffer, and recommit to preserving the virtue of hospitality as a force for reweaving the fabric of community.
BREAKING NEWS:
On 11/18, Governor Tim Walz issued an Executive Order calling for the closure of all indoor and outdoor dining and social events and gatherings through December 18. This is devastating news for our industry.
You have done what has been asked of you throughout this pandemic, requiring significant financial investments as the vast majority of you have watched revenues plummet. We know that receiving immediate financial relief is paramount to survival. In our response to the Governor and our conversations with state lawmakers and the media, we will be pushing for state aid for your businesses right now. Federal aid will not come soon enough to be of use for those facing the greatest hardships.
As we work to put together our specific request to the Governor and State Legislature, we urge you to share your ideas about the areas of relief that would be most useful to you by sending them to info@hospitalitymn.com
Another step you can take immediately is to contact the Governor and your state legislators to tell them your story – to put the devastation of this action in personal terms. Let them know what impact this is having on your business, your employees, your family and your community. Your story and your voice matter.
