WELL… THAT WAS ALMOST AS CRAZY AS 2020

What do we say about 2021? “Who would ever have imagined”, comes to mind…

2020 and 2021 have challenged us in ways we can and can’t see. It likely won’t be until later, as is often the case, that we witness and integrate the last 2 years experiences personally, professionally, as friends, partners, and parents.

The truth about growth and transformation is that it’s messy and beautiful. One gift of being human, is that we have the capacity to care for one and another. 2020 and 2021 has required this from most of us and has reminded us of how much we need each other and how important we are to each other as a collective.

As we close out 2021, we take a moment to reflect on all the customers, friends and family members that have supported us in the various roles we work and live in.

We take a moment to convert our worries into gratitude…that we can serve our customers and care for our VAI’s family of staff.

And we take a moment to remember restaurants that have had to close their doors for all uncontrollable reasons and situations, so we wish their owners and staffs, a new year of rebound and recovery.

We have and always will appreciate the variety and color, a thriving restaurant community brings, and hope that we can rebound as a fuller, stronger community soon!

Cheers…to a more whimsical and balanced 2022…

COMEBACK FOR ALL
