Letter from the President
To say that 2020 was a strange year would be an understatement. I kept expecting locusts. Instead, we got Murder Hornets.
During the Pandemic, many of our members have experienced record sales while others have struggled. I applaud all of your efforts through these troubled times, risking everything to ensure our fellow Oklahomans have food on their tables, not knowing the total scope of the Pandemic or the consequences that you or your employees might suffer.
I want to thank all of the Oklahomans who make an effort to purchase MIO products. In doing so, you are supporting local economies with the tax dollars that these sales generate. Buying local has never been more critical than it is now.
As we move forward, try not to look at any of the negatives that this contagion has created. Instead, concentrate on the positives, no matter how small. There is no right or wrong way to attack the Pandemic. This rule is true whether you are a manufacturer or a consumer. Stay the course, and we will get through this together. Vaccines are coming. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I want to personally thank all of you for your belief and support of the Made in Oklahoma Coalition.
Sincerely,
George Lemmon
MIO President
