NOTES FROM LORI
Hurrah for May! 2021 is rolling along and it seems in a more positive direction. Do you know that just last week, we hosted our first IN PERSON event at our Edina location? It was refreshing to be in a workspace with our team and members and I am feeling optimistic that there are more to come in the very near future.
Over the last 2 months, we have seen an uptick in both inquiries and tours from potential new members and many have been from your referrals. I want to personally thank you for showing your faith in us by endorsing our community and workspaces. Your positive comments are key in growing our community. All of you are AWESOME!
This month, we have some real treats for all of you, starting with a BONUS BlackJack on Tuesday, May 4th. In honor of Star Wars fans everywhere, come in to try your luck and May the 4th be with you. Next up is Park Connect on May 6th, followed by Slice of Woodbury on May 18th. We will be finishing the month with PowerLunch on May 27th and regular BlackJack Friday on the 28th. And, by the way, I'm stepping in to talk about the consistency of branding on all of your platforms for this month's PowerLunch. I hope you can join us. All networking is still via zoom, but we are anticipating IN PERSON events starting next month, as we celebrate our 40th anniversary on June 1st with cupcakes for everyone. We are saving the BIG birthday bash for August so we can give members more time to get through the vaccination process. And, I know it's early, but plan to join us on June 8th as we do our virtual 5K shuffle to support the Randy Shaver Cancer Research & Community Fund. See more details below or by visiting our website.
It feels like we're on a roll, let’s keep the momentum going! We're seeing more members using our workspaces and it's generating positive energy for everyone. Thanks to all of you, we have moved through the first half of this year quickly. It's my hope that by the second half of 2021, our community is back to business as usual. See you in the workspaces very soon.

Support LOLO Small Businesses Can be BIG Help |
OffiCenters believes, "We Are Stronger Together.” These words could not be truer than they are right now, as we all try to re-establish our businesses and make up for lost revenue caused by COVID-19. Some may think there is nothing they can do to help others when they are so focused on saving money and their own small business, but there are ways to help fellow small business owners that won’t cost you a dime.

Farewell to Cindy at Edina OffiCenter! |
|
Cindy has been the face behind the front desk at our Edina location since we opened 2 years ago and 13 years before that, totaling 15 Work Awesome years of service that will come to end on April 30. When asked what will be the first thing she'll do as a retired person, her answer was quick and simple, "Sleep in!" Cindy also said that enjoying time in her SHE SHED will be part of her retirement plans. But, don't be surprised if you see Cindy back at her post as she has graciously offered to cover for our new Office Service Specialist, Catherine (Cat) so she can attend family weddings this summer. We wish you well Cindy, as you start the next chapter of your life! And, see you soon! |

Like most non-profits, 2020 was quite a year for Girls Taking Action. And, like many other programs, they persisted through a very difficult year, continuing their mentoring programs. When the pandemic hit it became clear that the girls needed this program more than ever and the leaders continued to empower and mentor them, using various virtual platforms. Now, Girls Taking Action is thrilled to announce they are preparing for their 9th Annual Fundraiser. What is the Girls Taking Action Annual Fundraiser? An amazing event highlighting the program’s success while giving guests and supporters opportunities to hear why this program works, first-hand from the girls. As OneCommunity Partners, we invite you to join them for their virtual event on May 21 and hear about the impact Girls taking Action has in the Twin Cities and all around the world.
