This holiday season I have found myself reflecting upon the past year, and how grateful I am for each and every one of you. Let's face it, 2021 certainly had its challenges! With the constantly changing Covid protection policies, including the addition of outdoor dining spaces, sanitary equipment that needed to be purchased and installed, mask policies, and labor and supply shortages, I have to admit, you are all super heroes!

I can't thank you enough for putting your trust in the Alt Strat team to help navigate these difficult times. I'd like to think that these roadblocks we faced together became building blocks for even better relationships as we move forward into a new year. We had to rely on each other like never before, which I feel has only served to make us all better at what we do.

I am also extremely proud of, and grateful for my team here at Alt Strat. You truly stood up the plate and went above and beyond to ensure the success of each business we represent. You worked together and supported each other's efforts, even when the going got tough. And it is because of that, we can lift our heads high knowing that we were very much responsible for keeping many businesses afloat this year.

Finally, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for our trusted vendors, partners and the media for their support in ensuring that we were able to best serve and represent our clients during some of the most trying times that I can remember.

So as 2021 comes to a close (slam that door!), it is my sincere hope that your holiday season is filled with a renewed sense of appreciation for the important things in life; good health, personal connections, and a deeper sense of community. May you all be blessed beyond belief in 2022!
