Surveying Your Interest

Everyone on our email list has been sent a letter about upcoming changes at Circles. In it there is a link to an online survey where we are trying to gauge your interest in these changes. If your email link is not working, please use the one below.

In brief, we would like to change the ownership model of Circles. Rather than two owners, we are going to share ownership with the Circles community. If this offering is successful, we will gather enough resources - financial and human - to pursue several opportunies for additional income streams to secure the long-term prosperity of Circles. Who better to share the results of those opportunies with than our community?

Many of the details of this are to be determined in the very near future - a few weeks at most. Shares will be $100 each and we will offer 3,000 shares. While we would encourage shareholders to participate in the management and running of the business, it would be unrealistic to expect that everyone can or that we could manage such a huge 'staff'. Mainly, the shareholders will elect a board of directors. Beyond that, individuals may participate where they feel able.

We have created a short survey - 4 questions - to get a sense of how you, our community, will respond to this idea. Please click here to particpate in our survey.

Also, we are keenly interested in your questions. We will be gathering them to prepare a more detailed presentation of the offering. You can post questions in the comments here or email me at allison_at_circles-salon.com. (replace the "_at_" with an @)

With great appreciation for your time and input,
Allison
