The MIRA Bottom Line magazine is a great publication to see whats going on in the industry. We try to keep up with all the trends.

Even though we’re not affected by the meat labeling law because we’re small and everything comes directly from the farmer, we rely on the information MIRA provides and how much they try to help small businesses,” “We appreciate the programs, too, but the way they work to keep us updated and protect us from taxes and regulations is the most important.

Before, MIRA was all about donations. After Auday (arabo) took over (as President) though, the programs and organization improved tremendously. It’s all about helping the people and not just asking your members for donations.

MIRA truly represents its members well. Auday does a magnificent job in following through with all the needs of retailers and having created a highly respected organization, and one of the most active. They are working hard and they involve their members.

As MIRA gains more members, we become stronger, and this results in more legislators listening to our voice regarding issues that affect our businesses.

MIRA is a good organization, very community focused,” “The biggest benefit is the government relations interface. They lobby for all of us and work for our rights on issues like federal and state taxes,” “MIRA was behind the initiative to spread food stamps out across the month, which has been very helpful, and they are working hard on the bottle recycling issue, which is painful and expensive for retailers to maintain. We couldn’t do it alone.
