Do you have any idea how many great Michigan brands there are? I don't ;-) So please tell me. We have an amazing discussion on the board that's all about great Michigan brands and companies. Want to learn about some of them, check the conversation here. Don't like to read? Check out this great 3 minute video our own Charlie Wollborg did in a grocery store that lists some great choices: http://url.ie/z11 TAKE THE PLEDGE For those who missed it, we had a great gathering Monday evening to support Operation Kid Equip. It was great to see Lisa Diggs of Buy Michigan Now and Jan and Marshall Rice of Michigan Mall together. Two great companies who are champions for our state. While there, Lisa told me a story about an executive who said he was going to move shop. But he saw Lisa's site and was impressed by the number of folks who had taken the pledge. He challenged her to increase the number and said if he saw enough people still committed to and caring about Michigan, he may change his mind. We can help impact that. How? Simple, take and share the pledge that is here: http://www.buymichigannow.com/pledge.php HELP THE KIDS I think a lot of people were moved when they heard OKE's mission and all the ways they are helping our youth. Lisa made an outstanding offer: If you commit to doing a fundraiser for Operation Kid Equip between now and May 10 (commit to event, not have event) you will be entered into a drawing to win a Premiere listing on www.buymichigannow.com (a $300.00 value). I see her generous offer and will offer the opportunity to win a MCC 3.0 membership for the whole year.

I'm biased of course because I'm with Herman Miller but nothing conjures up a better image of relaxing and enjoyment for me than sitting on my Eames chair with a newspaper or good book, a good cup of coffee or other beverage and just reading, listening to some Motown or jazz and enjoying some relaxing moments while comfortably reclined, feet up. Modern classic furniture from Herman Miller is like owning a piece of functional art for your living room, den or office. Many of these pieces were designed 40 or 50 years ago but because they are timeless designs, they are still cherished today by devoted legions of Herman Miller customers...

Milan-
This is great for us. I have put the word out and will make sure others know about this. Thanks for the great offer.
Tell us about the movie (trilogy).
Thanks-
Terry
Hello Terry :
Trilogy was meant that we will be producing three movies in this series. We cannot devulge details about the film in a public forum at this time. I even had to turn down an interview today with a national magazine recently...
Hopefully we find some cool new starts ups as well as well known brands...
Thanks!
Milan
I know several people filming here this summer, too. If we got a group together and coordinated the effort, we may be able to help a bunch of people! How can we do this?
Milan, are you still casting the trilogy, by any chance?
Hello Shannon:
Casting to my knowledge will begin in June/July... not my area .. though will keep you on file ...
Thanks for your interest
Milan

Buy Michigan Now is my new mantra. I also champion supporting all of our local nonprofit groups working hard to create the future we want for our communities.
By giving priority to Michigan-made purchases and supporting our local nonprofit groups, we will carry our state forward to the places we want to go.
