A Letter From Steve Vanechanos Executive Chairman
April 30, 2019 - We've entered the final hours of our campaign and I can think of no better time to look back at the progress we've made and how our community of owners - now almost 1,100 strong - have made it all possible. Between your investments and your efforts as brand advocates / loyalists / and customers, you're helping us to gain traction in America's two largest markets - Texas and California.
For that we can't thank you enough, but we'll try. From the bottom of our hearts and with a real sense of community and team we say, THANK YOU.
We've got many challenges before us. But if past is prologue, we've assembled a resilient and effective Community, and together we've been able to overcome all the hurdles that have been placed before us. That's a real cause for optimism.
In our 2018 Annual Report "Message to Investors" (required by Reg CF) we said:
"Looking forward into 2019, while we love Reg CF and truly believe having a large number of committed and loyal owners / investors is an operating asset, a priority for 2019 will be to attract a strategic institutional investor."
So expect us to work hard to line up support from one or more institutional / strategic investors and depend less on Reg CF to finance our future. That doesn't mean we're done with Reg CF, because that's how we assembled our invaluable Community of Owners, and adding to it is certainly a future priority.
Thanks for joining us on our journey pursuing our quest. Thanks for all of you support. I hope we can continue to count on it as we travel together into the future.
Here's to good health and future prosperity together.
Steve Vanechanos
