" Wasn't she on the Mayor's Covid task force for business/restaurants?"

Just to Clarify:

I was on the short lived Governors Hospitality Task Force for reopening. We dicusssed and made recommendations to the Governors for phased reopening. Our committee ended up recommending a near total opening, which the Governor followed through with and then pulled back once Delta hit.
I was also in the the City's Business Leaders group. This group was primarily an information trading group. We were able to get advance notice of changes in mandates and received weekly Health Dept updates with the understanding that we would share this information to others in the city. There were occasions when they would find a way to accomodate our advice but most of the time the closure and mandate decisions were presented to us as a Fait Accomplie. Most of our accomplishments in this group related to Unemployment, Testing and vaccine planning, emerguncy aid for those in dire need, grant and federal aid programs etc.

Im retiring. The care my mom has needed over the last 18 months has been getting increasingly unmangeable with my responsibilites at the Pub. My daughter lives in the UK and my son will likely be moving to Europe as well. The deadline I've set is June 1st 2023 but I'd be happy to bow out before that if the eventual buyers want to take over earlier. One of my dearest and best friends in the industry had is having his 70th birthday party this week at Drie Fonteinen and of course I'm not going. Im at the stage in my life where I want to be able to do those things as well as give my mom the care she needs. The last 15 years have been incredible and I loved almost every minute of it ( hurricanes and COVID excepted of course) but I'm ready to give the responsiblites up to someone else!

Yes, Zwanze day 2022 is a go!
We have already have the Cantillon listfor that weekend but we dont want to release it until Jean makes it public.
2023 Zwanze will depend on the next owners or operators and how much they value those connections, which I am willing to facilitate. So far it looks very positive. We have a lot of interest from folks who love what we have done and want to continue those aspects of our business.
