“I agreed to do this interview, if you want to call it that, because it’s important that the community knows the reasons why we do what we do. Not for them to speculate or give out misinformation to others – because that’s how problems begin,” said Vassilaki. “We want to make sure the proper information gets out into the community and they understand everything that’s happening.”
Vassilaki prides himself on being relatable and easy to talk to, and said the best way to reach him is by calling him directly. Stay tuned for part two of his interview this afternoon!
