Who knew Michele’s next big modeling gig would be... a martini bottle? 🍸😎

We had a blast at W**e Palace of Livonia, MI for a bottle signing with Nigel Barker, former America’s Next Top Model judge, fashion photographer, author, model, and now creator of The Barker Company. Nigel even gave Michele a few runway tips as she proudly modeled one of his bottles!

Thanks to W**e Palace and Nigel Barker for hosting such a stylish and fun event. Cheers to great people, great cocktails, and a few lessons from a modeling icon! 🍸✨

Michigan's Bottle Bill conversation is gaining statewide attention.

Over the past few weeks, MIRA leaders and members have been featured across television, radio, and print media discussing the challenges retailers face with Michigan's current bottle return system.

From local grocers and convenience stores to supermarkets across the state, retailers are calling for modernization that keeps recycling strong while reducing the burden on stores.

We're proud to represent our members and ensure their voices are part of the conversation.

Thank you to Harbor Strategic Public Affairs for all of their help with our Bottle Bill efforts!

Check out the Bottle Bill Page on our website to see all of the media traction! https://midwestretailers.org/Online/Online/News/MIRA-In-The-News.aspx?hkey=5057a33f-8f59-4f0e-b692-83029a213565
