Hi, I'm Liz, and in 2020, I am thankful for Augusta. I'm thankful for all our franchisees who have been like our family. I'm thankful for a team that we've worked so hard to build an amazing culture and that we work so well together and have such streamlined systems. It doesn't come easily. And I'm very appreciative for the quality of people we have on our team, for my personal life and for everything that's happening in our country right now. I'm thankful for all the challenges that I've had personally and that we as a country and nation have. It's made us stronger than we ever thought possible and we've overcome things personally that we never thought we ever could. And so I'm grateful for all the challenges and the difficulties of 2020. And I so focused on all the good that happened as well, and looking forward to a great 2021.
Hey, I'm Lee with Augusta Lawn Care of Whatcom county, the office manager there. And for this Thanksgiving 2020, it's been a weird year, but there is still a lot to be thankful for. The things that I'm thankful for, I'm thankful for my wife and my family for helping us get through this year. It's one of those years where you could lay down and just take it and accept the defeat. But having a support system of my wife and my family to help push, go to work every day, work with the amazing team at Augusta, be a part of the Augusta Nation has just been a great blessing. And I'm so thankful for everyone's work ethic and the support system that I've had this year. So I hope to you and yours, you have a great Thanksgiving.

Hi, I'm Mike. And in 2020, first and foremost, I am very thankful that none of our team in any of my businesses contracted Covid tested positive and it affected any of us. So just everyone staying healthy in 2020 was a huge thing for me. Secondarily, I'm very happy and thankful that our franchisees were able to continue growing throughout the pandemic. It was one of the worst times you could probably ever start a business this past spring, and yet that's when most of our franchisees were getting started for their first year. And so very thankful the fact that we were able to grow up to 30 locations and they were able to be successful. It wasn't without hardship and it wasn't easy. There's a lot of changes and difficulties with the whole pandemic and not being able to sell in person and do door to door marketing and all the rest of it. I'm just very thankful that they survived, some of them, many of them thrived, and that we were able to continue growing the business in what could have been a very debilitating year for the company.
