Good morning, everyone,

I have an action item for some of us that is necessary for the purpose of this petition. I have submitted our petition to MDARD. Unfortunately, due to the permissions of this site, some have signed the petition anonymously and these signatures are not viewable by anyone outside of Open Petition. These unviewable signatures will not be accepted until MDARD can vet that these are real humans and true to the purpose. There seems to be approximately 20 signatures on here that are needing to be vetted. If you are one of these people, I simply ask that you email- or even cut and paste this statement below to Jamie Guardiola at MDARD stating that

"To Whom It May Concern,

I wish to remain anonymous, but I am one of the 20 anonymous petitioners in favor of exploring this public act for the wine grape industry in Michigan. Thank you for accepting this as proof of interest.
Sincerely,
(Name Here)"

Please do so by this Friday 9/20/24.

Thank you very much for doing so.

Brian Lillie
