Step 1.  Find out who your State Senator and State Rep. is here.

Step 2.  Give them a call.  Use the talking points below if you’d like!

ps.  Nervous?  We were too!  But actually, it’s totally easy. The folks we talked to were really

nice and supportive!

Talking Points:


  1. 1.Explain who you are and that you are calling on behalf of Nice Cream.

  2. 2.Explain the situation.  In brief - Nice Cream got shut down by the Illinois Department of Public Health this Summer for not having a “dairy license”.  The dairy regulations were written for huge ice cream companies, not little guys like us.  The regulations required a lot of cost prohibitive unnecessary changes.  For one, that Nice Cream buy a $40,000 piece of equipment. 

  3. 3.This impacts other small ice cream companies in Illinois too!

  4. 4.We want there to be legislation that puts small ice cream makers in a different category than huge manufacturers.

  5. 5.They can get more information by contacting us here at Nice Cream.  NiceCream@me.com or 312.479.7990
