Hi,
I was about to add a long overdue update to our situation vis -a -vis the Mica building, (apologies, for the delay, very challenging to run a business and fight this fight simultaneously) Anyway, this great article was published today, which says it all. Thanks to brilliant and concise journalism from Bea Lewis of The Citizen of Laconia. Here is the link.

We are in touch with the Reynold family and the Reiss family. Both Dawn Reynold and Kelly Reiss have been employed by us at different times, so we know them well and are very concerned for their welfare. Dawn was one of the wonderful people who many of the regular customers know we could not have done without in the first summer of opening the Mill. I will be talking to both women tomorrow to ask their permission to blog more details about their story as we go along.
If you haven’t yet signed our petition please add your name. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/TheMillBristol/ We feel it is still important to keep gathering signatures. The Selectmen voted to support us till April 19th, a fact that gave us enormous relief. We wish to express our gratitude to those selectmen who voted to support us, Joseph Denning, Paul Fraser and Rick Halpers. However no one can tell us for sure when the Mica building will be taken down, and there is no assurance from the selectmen that they will support us beyond April 17th. This means, unfortunately that our business continues to be at risk as we cannot afford to pay both a mortgage and rent indefinitely.
