NOTES FROM LORI
No, no, no! It can’t be November! Where did this year go? It seems to me that it has just flown by and there are so many things that for which I am grateful. Here is my short list:

  • Grateful for my Work Awesome Team
  • Grateful for our over 1,500 members
  • Grateful for our member referrals
  • Grateful for vaccines and the booster
  • Grateful that we are stronger together

Please take time this month to tell us what you are grateful for. Post on our Facebook or Instagram pages and be entered into a prize drawing for a $100 gift card.

Last year, the pandemic prevented our holiday gatherings at all of the locations. We're happy to announce that this year, we will be hosting two lunches for all of our members. The first party is at International Plaza (Bloomington) on December 9th and the second in St. Louis Park on December 16th. Pick which date or location works better for you, or attend both! Come and fa-la-la-lasagna with us!

It’s been slow to start, but the France OffiCenter remodel will begin next week! I know we have been saying it, but now it’s true. New lobby, kitchen and a better coworking space will be coming soon and completed by year’s end.

Finally, I'm wishing all of you a happy Thanksgiving. I think we all realize that time with family and friends is precious. You never know what tomorrow will bring so rejoice and feast this month. Be safe, be positive and have a wonderful holiday. Reminder that we are also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for all of you.
Christianson & Company, members at France OffiCenter, is celebrating 20 years of helping businesses, developers and investors buy, sell and lease space.
