Makers,

Happy Thanksgiving –
Hope you get to spend time with your loved ones this week.

Thank them on our behalf, on your own, thank our neighbors, thank our teachers, thank our firemen, doctors, our farmers, our uber/lyft drivers, our engineers, our assistants, painters, news writers, bartenders, our chefs and a million others who play their integral part of everyday – our true shareholders; thank you competitors for keeping us sharp and ‘enemies, skeptics & naysayers’ for making our resolve even more strong, thank you underdogs fighting the fight every 3am in the night; thank you seasons for bringing meaningful change in colors and the spirit, thank you community, thank you world (h2o world) thank you time, space & hope.. thank you light and love.

… and most of all thank our families, our parents, siblings, our children and our partners or friends and thanks to our teams for being with us through the rise, the fall, every ebb and flow and the rise again of the sparkling relentless journey of h2o!

Happy thanksgiving, makers! Make happiness! Make it memorable and make it count!

this will be fun, Sri
