MISC UPDATES *

+ If you haven’t heard, we carried out our test streams on WhatNot this week to experiment with the platform. This ended up just becoming a charity stream for Ukrainian relief with 100% of funds going to charity. We sold nearly 200 caps in two streams and raised a total of $11,534 between them. After adding in what we matched on the first stream, the total increased to $14,919! An additional $5,081 will be contributed to make it an even $20,000 donation. We are working with a translator in Ukraine that our Ukrainian team member Vitalik knows to determine where to donate the money. We will update with the receipt of the donation and where it ends up going. Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out!
 
+ Our Twitch streams are off to a great start, and we are on the path to meet the Partner requirements in the first month! We will be doing a giveaway on every stream up until our 12th stream. 6 more to go! Give us a follow on Twitch, turn on those notifications, and join us on our streams! https://twitch.tv/omnitype_. 

COMPANY UPDATES

NEW FACILITY

+ If you haven't heard, we are in the process of designing a different kind of metal rectangle. A new building. We are bursting at the seams at our current location, so we are way overdue for more space to stretch out and makes things more efficient.  
+ We have purchased a 3 acre parcel of land and are preparing for construction of a custom-built 12,000~ sq/ft facility. 3 acres is more than we need at this moment, but it will allow us to expand with new facilities as we grow in the future without moving again. 
+ We closed on the construction loan for our new facility so construction will hopefully begin soon.
