Deanos Market Liquor License

Upcoming review

This just in...

Andrew just forward a note from Sonja Richter. She writes in part:

 
One thing that is URGENTLY needed is to get additional letters to Dan
Okada ASAP (that is in NOW) from any one who may object to the
Liq. Lic. at the DEANO's MARKET, 2040 E Madison, (not the Lounge) or
would like to see a provisional liq. lic. granted, or not. 
 

Sonja gives these recommendations for letter writing:

The information MUST tie or directly relate the activity/behavior to the market.

Examples:

• "I saw a person already intoxicated go into the market and come out again with more beer"
• "I notice groups of people stand at the entrance fo the market after 11 pm on a school night and underage or school age children are in the group and are given beer by the others who go into the store and buy beer"
• " I live one block from the market and I see people come out of the market, walk past my house and toss beer cans into my yard that they carried out from the market"

Letters are due by the end of May
