Just an FYI. Other than a few minor tweaks, we have updated our web site with fresh content. If you are interested, please take a look. As I mentioned, we have a little more to do but the site previously was pretty "barebones" and needed more optimized and quality content. Once we have finished, our Social Media campaign will swing into full gear and increase both awareness and visibility on a much broader scale. Just wanted to update all of you on the marketing end of things. Have a productive and profitable day!
Thanks for the suggestion and it's definitely in line with our Social Media plan. It's always nice to see positive stories in the media and stories like those as well as testimonials are great ways to build awareness and show social responsibility.
Thanks you for understanding.
We are really trying to keep all of you informed about the company and sometimes it's a real tightrope on what we can and cannot disclose in a public forum. As impersonal and "semi-informative" as they may seem at times, that's what press releases are for. And let me tell you, press releases aren't cheap, LOL!
You're absolutely right, sidestyle. We can only disclose information that is meant for everyone and nothing that is based on speculation or gives an unfair advantage (aka, "inside information) to certain people while withholding that same information from the general public.
Since I am not directly involved in the negotiations, I can't give you a definitive yes, no, or even a maybe. John is very aware of your concerns and it is a VERY high priority with him. He is in the process of preparing an update regarding the acquisition and answering your questions. Just have some patience as I am sure you can understand that he is extremely busy with all that is going on. Thanks!
Let me state that bringing Dr. Rhinehart on board IS a big deal not only because of his impeccable credentials but also because it shows that both companies are VERY serious about moving forward aggressively and changing the operations from the previous administration at The ARC. We would not have added an Executive Director if there were no properties or clients. He would not have anything to do. Yes, we have consolidated into better properties and there are clients and cash flow. More details will be public disclosure and soon.
Thanks! I will try to correct any inaccurate statements on here with facts that are deemed public knowledge and have already been executed. As I mentioned before, I can't reveal anything that compromises our ethics and gives anyone an unfair advantage when trading.
Don't think that I don't watch your posts. At some point, I am on here watching every day. While we truly appreciate your collective business, purchasing and holding stock in our company, we certainly do not appreciate the personal character attacks.
Let me stress that this is NOT a threat but please be careful what you post about anyone and how you post it because if a post is false or partially true or even just heresay, that is libelous and could be considered defammatory in a court of law. What you might find in your research may not be the entire story. Even court documents and public records don't give the complete details about a case or hearing. So be very careful about relaying information in a public forum like iHub.
Because we are busy trying to grow our business and create value for you and other prospective stockholders, I simply can't devote my entire day to monitoring iHub, especially if it would involve getting into p***ing matches with the very few of you in here who thrive on confrontation.
As I've mentioned previously, I CANNOT and WILL NOT divulge ANY inside information that would be considered illegal.
Let's all grow up and play well in the sandbox together and help each other rather than focusing on negativity, okay?
FALSE! We consolidated the housing, terminated some of our agreements with underperforming rentals and got rid of all the clients who weren't paying. Big things are still on the horizon for ACYD.
Oh, and by the way, before anyone else posts false and misleading PERSONAL information about me, please have the courtesy to either get your facts straight or private message me. The so-called "forging" incident that was posted about me was not at all related to business. It stemmed from a VERY nasty divorce several years ago that is still being resolved. I would appreciate it greatly if the individuals involved with this type of posting on iHub would keep their respective noses out of people's personal affairs. Posts like that one and comments about Mr. Folger's living situations are none of anyone's business on here and are totally uncalled for and classless! Enough said?
Exactly, sidestyle. Thank you!
When I used the term "rumor" in my post, I was speaking in very general terms and not specifically about the dialogue leading up to our LOI back in December. I am sorry if you interpreted what I wrote in that manner. That was not my intention. As you know, most of the activity on Pink Sheets is based on speculation, "here say," and even wishful thinking in some cases. I was simply saying that a press release is the first official release of information regarding business transactions.
While I would love to give you specifics on the merger/acquisition, disclosing that information would violate SEC regulations as well as compromise business ethics and conduct.
What I can tell you is that I have been involved in several M&A's in the past and they typically take a while longer to complete than usually announced because of extended negotiations.
Once concluded, however, nearly all of the ones I have seen benefit both parties greatly and the company is much better for the time involved and company growth spikes tremendously.
The official press release of the intent to purchase was issued in December so really that is when the clock on any M&A should start. Until that happens, any M&A should be considered rumor and treated accordingly.
All I can do is to ask you and your fellow shareholders to continue to have patience. Thanks!
Just an FYI. Kathy Perry is not on the ACYD team and needs to update her profile. She consulted with the company briefly a couple of years ago. Thanks for letting me know.
You can check out my profile on LinkedIn for my past experience. Because of a nondisclosure agreement, I am not allowed to publicly discuss my participation as a "First Tier" Consultant for one of the largest Consumer Packaged Goods corporations in the U.S. (their policy with all Consultants). I consulted on projects with six of their 20+ brands and focused on integrating projects and brands across corporate lines. As far as Management Team additions, watch for more in the VERY near future.
Thanks! Glad to be here. I love this company and love what we do to help so many disadvantaged people.
To observe and comment within limits. I like to keep an eye on the boards to see what's going on. As you can understand, I can't make any specific recommendations or comment specifically about company policies, operations, etc. but I can help with re-focusing attention on our Company's Vision and Mission.
Thanks Sidestyle! I've been sitting silent the past couple of days watching what's been happening here. Being the "new guy" at ACYD, I am getting acclimated to this and other boards but I've definitely seen this kind of activity before while working at another organization. Let the "shorters" do what they do but in the end, it's the actual results of what your product or service provides. The fact of the matter is we are operating in a wide open service niche that this industry desperately needs and no one else is filling. If you believe in what you do and have the dedication to succeed at all costs (and we do!), you will achieve your goals. The recent additions of Mitchell Freifeld, myself and others are verifiable proof that this company is driven to succeed and make a difference in thousands of people's lives, not only in Florida but nationwide. Watch for a lot more upcoming news regarding ACYD. It's time to ignore the "shorters" and naysayers and get on board for the ride.
Press Release being Re-Posted by News Service. Anyone considering using 24-7 Press Release Service please be aware that they mistakenly posted our press release on an option that did not release the info to the major financial sites (Yahoo Finance, etc.). We are working with them to correct their mistake as soon as possible. Thanks!

American Community Development Group, Inc. Restructures Management.
David Atkinson Added as Vice President of Marketing and Investor Relations.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
St. Petersburg, FL - February 22, 2012- American Community Development Group, Inc. (OTC Pinksheets: ACYD) announced the continuing expansion of its Executive management team as it prepares to qualify for the QX during 2012 and is especially pleased to be adding David Atkinson as Vice President of Marketing and Investor Relations. This appointment is critical at this juncture because of the many important events to follow. The Company is convinced that it requires specialized experience to improve its record of communication. Specific tasks and milestones planned are a complete upgrade to the corporate web site (currently in progress), creation of a shareholder database for specific communications and an expanded and active presence on all social media.
Mr. Atkinson has over 30 years experience in marketing, creative services and investor relations, including investor relations for a $900 million company that traded on the NYSE and TSX. He was also responsible for generating, securitizing and warehousing nearly $1 billion for a financial services organization in less than 1 year. He also developed the marketing plans and strategies for nine product divisions that more than doubled a $384 million company in less than 5 years.
Since 2008, American Community Development Group, Inc. (ACYD) has been a socially responsible public company that specializes in profitable real estate investments by purchasing distressed property and then using these transitional housing centers for 501c3 nonprofit clients. The Company generates increased profitable rental income by housing clients that are sponsored into such programs as drug and alcohol rehabilitation, ex-offenders, homeless, HUD, government assistance and veterans. By utilizing properties that are acquired at huge discounts due to the distressed housing market, the company and its investors are able to generate almost a 100% increase over traditional tenants.
We also create and sponsor job creation programs for the nonprofit community and are currently focused on the Florida West Coast. We have positively affected thousands of lives including, but not limited to, Florida. Our expansion plans include other regional and national affiliations.
American Community Development Group, Inc. is a for-profit corporation founded to provide economic support and management guidance to the non-profit community in order to assist their support of various economically distressed citizens. We believe in the concept of “social entrepreneurship” as stewards of our investors’ and our own resources while also creating strong economic returns on capital.
