Have you signed the petition?

Holland Young Professionals is asking you for your help to ensure this important economic development issue is on the ballot in November.

The goal of the Say Yes to Sunday Campaign is to collect enough signatures to place the question of overturning the Sunday beer and wine sales ban before voters in the November 4 general election.  By signing this petition you are not voting to overturn this ban, you are simply agreeing that this is an important economic development issue and that it needs to be on the ballot in November for voters to decide.

IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED VOTER IN OTTAWA COUNTY, PLEASE STOP BY THE HOLLAND AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BY AUGUST 12th TO SIGN THIS PETITION.

The Chamber is located at:
272 East 8th Street
Holland, MI 49423

A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!
Volunteers are needed starting this Friday, July 25 through Sunday, August 3 to collect signatures at Grand Haven’s Coast Guard Festival. Come check out the festivities and live music, and have fun while supporting this campaign. All volunteers will get a free t-shirt and a campaign button.
