MyCajita can be your gift guide for discovering many more cultural experiences and these boxes with the handblown glassware are here just in time for hot weather days. The Salud Box includes four handblown glasses, four talavera coasters, one Pez Powder Rimming Salt and one Public Goods Organic Agave. The Margarita Box includes two margarita glasses, one large rim salt holder and the rim salt. About Handblown Glasses This glassware is crafted in Mexico by master glassblowers and made from 100% recycled Coke bottles. The bottles are washed and broken into pieces, which are then heated to a molten liquid and artfully spun, blown, and shaped into the beautiful glasses. Talavera Coasters Talavera pottery is a form of Majolica pottery that came to Mexico by way of Spain and Northern Africa. The Moors introduced the geometric patterns to Spain during the 12th century and it was quickly adopted by craftsmen in Talavera de Reina in Castile, Spain who brought it to Mexico under the Spanish crown. The process of covering the base in white is the reason it’s called Majolica pottery (tin-glazed earthenware) and allows the colors to really stand out. These Talavera tile coasters are all made by hand. Modern screen printing allows the painters to make them accurate and consistent. Pez Powder Rimming Salt Los Angeles natives and couple Lucy and Bret Thompson, owners of Pez Cantina, a modern coastal Mexican restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, are the creators of Pez Powder, a Premium seasoning blend of Chile and lime. The couple has created the perfect seasoning blend of chile spices and lime. A sure hit for any cocktail. Public Goods Organic Agave Public Goods organic agave syrup is made from the light, sweet nectar of the blue agave plant. As well as registering low on the glycemic index, it's also a good, natural source of vitamins B and C.

NO DOGS LEFT BEHIND ANNOUNCES JACQUELINE FINNEGAN AS NEW VICE PRESIDENT

No Dogs Left Behind

No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB), a global animal welfare organization that rescues dogs from slaughterhouses, has announced that Jacqueline Finnegan has been promoted to the newly created position of Vice President of the nonprofit group. “She’s a true activist who is dedicated to change in animal welfare,” said Jeffrey Beri, Founder and President of NDLB. “As Vice President, she brings a breath of fresh air, a laser-vision focus, and attention to detail that enables the foundation to grow to the next level. The sky’s the limit with Jackie on board as the Vice President of No Dogs Left Behind.” Beri noted that “should anything ever happen to me, knowing that Jackie is at the helm, I know that the foundation is – and will continue to be – in good hands. The foundation needs to be sustainable and not reliant on a single person so that the movement can continue until change happens and every slaughter cage is emptied!” “I been a huge animal rights activist since I was a young girl. I have known about the dog meat trade in China for a long time and have a golden retriever who was rescued from there. To now be able to be part of the movement and part of the solution is so rewarding to me,” said Finnegan, a married mother of three from Old Brookville, NY. This Virginia native started out as a transport volunteer with NDLB more than a year ago. She has participated in over 8 transports, including during the Covid pandemic, when survivors are flown to the US from China to meet their adoptive or foster families. Prior to becoming Vice President, Finnegan, who has both a nursing and law degree, worked as the NDLB Volunteer Coordinator. In her new role, she will be “working with Jeff to ensure that the dogs in our sanctuaries in China get the absolute best treatment and care possible, that we have regular communication with our adopters and regularly share updates and videos with them, and that the entire process, from rescue to transport, is 100% transparent.” In her new role, Finnegan’s first priority will be to establish a fundraising initiative to establish a new sanctuary wing in China for the rescued dogs who have Brucellosis, a non-curable infectious disease that transmits from animals to humans. This wing will have all of the creature comforts of home and a beautiful courtyard for them to play in together. She wants these survivors to be as comfortable as possible, she said, “since they will never be able to leave our sanctuaries in China.” Finnegan, an avid animal lover, explained what NDLB and working with Beri means to her: “It’s not just about saving an individual dog, and getting an individual dog to a person in the United States. It is so much more than that. No Dogs Left Behind is a different type of animal rescue: it all stems from Jeff and how he runs the foundation … he goes into the slaughterhouses and wet markets and shuts them down and rescues the dogs; he cordons off dog trafficking trucks and intercepts them and rescues the dogs. He goes after breeders, demanding health certificates and paperwork, and when they can’t produce them, he rescues the dogs. And in all of these cases, he does not pay a dime for any of the dogs he rescues. Buying a dog to save that one dog’s life will allow the butchers to purchase ten more for slaughter.” In addition to rescuing the dogs, she explained that Beri tries to instill change by trying to persuade the butchers to change to another type of job. He visits schools in China to educate the young about animal welfare and companionship. “He’s a true hero, going out there, witnessing atrocities that most could not even imagine, and doing everything he can to not just rescue the dogs, but raise awareness about what’s going on.” Finnegan has 14 chickens, three dogs, and two horses. Out of all of the NDLB survivors Finnegan has helped, there is one dog she will always remember: Ichabod, an Alaskan malamute who was adopted and flown to the US in February 2021. “Even though he was disabled and crippled, (he) followed Jeff around everywhere.” Ichabod had been on a dog meat trafficker’s truck on its way to slaughter when Jeff’s team intercepted the truck and rescued him and all of the other dogs on the truck. “Watching how Ichabod followed Jeff around at the transport, and seeing his total and complete happiness when he had Jeff’s undivided attention, I knew then that each and every one of our dogs views Jeff as their savior. Not only is Ichabod a story in and of himself, but he’s a testament to what Jeff does day in and day out for these dogs.” About No Dogs Left Behind: No Dogs Left Behind operates boots on the ground in China, fighting on the frontlines to rescue dogs from the illegal dogmeat trade. They work hands-on with local activists through emergency response, pulling dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dogmeat trucks, wet markets and traffickers. Their mission extends beyond borders, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. With nearly 500 survivors in their care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi and Gongyi, China.

CaliberCos Inc. Continues to Create Value for Investors

Caliber Co.

CaliberCos Inc., a fully integrated real estate company, announced today that they have sold Treehouse Apartments, a 167-unit multifamily asset located in Tucson, Arizona for $23 million. The Company purchased the asset for $4.8 million in 2014, which at the time was approximately 70% below replacement cost. After an extensive $7.9-million renovation, which was completed in July 2017, the Company held the asset at a 10% cap rate on stabilized cost and subsequently sold it at an exit cap rate of 5%. As part of the renovation, Caliber transformed a Class-C property that was generating average rental rates of approximately $592 per month, into Class-A apartment homes that are now generating average rental rates of $975 per month. The asset features new cabinets and counter tops, in-unit washers and dryers, as well as community amenities such as a pool with fire features and BBQ, and a clubhouse complete with flat screen TV’s and a full kitchen. “This transaction is demonstrative of the value-add investment strategy,” stated Lisa Pudewell, Vice President of Real Estate Assets at Caliber. “As Arizona and other Southwest markets continue to surge with demand, we are proactively allocating resources to these vibrant markets through strategic asset sales, renovations and value-add acquisitions. We believe the sale of Treehouse Apartments fits perfectly into our business strategy and adds to our track record of delivering above average returns for our investors.” Ms. Pudewell concluded, “through distressed real estate investments and our recent Reg A+ offering, which will close on February 26, 2021, we are able to holistically manage every step of our investment process as we strive to create long-term value for our customers, company and community.” The asset is 3 miles from the University of Arizona and Banner Health Hospital and 5 miles from Downtown Tucson, which is near the Catalina Foothills recreation area and conveniently located to a variety of retail, dining and entertainment amenities. Tucson is the second most populated city in Arizona behind Phoenix and has benefited from the recent emigration of people from other more expensive U.S. cities seeking a lower cost of living and high quality of life, which is offered by Tucson’s temperate year-round weather, access to major transportation hubs and employment opportunities within the region as a student, a work from home employee or essential healthcare worker. Commenting on the sale, Susan Kauffman, MEB’s Director of Strategic Relationships, stated, “We are happy to have played a vital role in closing this sale, which generated an attractive profit for Caliber and provided class-A housing to the Tucson market. We owe much of the success to our Treehouse Apartments team and their Asset Director, Denise Trentacosta, who went above and beyond to produce an increase in NOI of 22% year over year since 2018.” Arthur Hill & Company Realty represented the Buyer and Justin Lanné with NAI Horizon represented the Seller. The Buyer is a private real estate investment group based in Chicago, IL. The seller, CaliberCos Inc. is a public, non-traded real estate company based in Phoenix, AZ. MEB Management Services is a residential and commercial property management company that provided property management services for Treehouse Apartments. Caliber Reg A+ Offering With a 12-year track record of growth and boasting a 26% Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) since 2017, Caliber has demonstrated its ability to create value for investors. Caliber is one of the fastest growing, award-winning real estate investment companies in the Southwest with an asset base that has grown by over 186% over the last four years through an exceptional real estate strategy that targets middle market investments within the Southwest region of the United states. The Company believes these markets offer the best supply and demand fundamentals that are essential to long-term value. In addition to Caliber’s recent real estate sale, it is in the final stages of an imminent opportunity to invest like an institution in an unconventional online public offering, which will close on February 26, 2021. Through a Reg A+ offering, Caliber is providing an opportunity for anyone to access a sophisticated, private real estate investment that has been traditionally reserved for accredited or institutional investors. Now accredited and non-accredited investors have a unique opportunity to join other Caliber owners by investing before the end of the round.
