NOTES FROM LORI

Happy July! Here we are at the halfway mark of 2020 and already this is a year to remember. As we ring in the summer and holiday weekend, the days ahead will be hot in so many ways. It seems COVID-19 is on the rise, so we are still encouraging our members to wear your face masks in the workspace common areas. Keep physical distancing. This is for the protection of the team and fellow workers. Please do not let virus fatigue get the best of you. I want to raise the awareness level AGAIN and will continue to remind you that this is not over. We need to help one another to keep the workspace safe.

We have many members returning to our workspaces and we are happy to welcome you back. Remember that we never let you down! We have been here everyday making sure that you get your mail, packages, messages and phone services. We never abandoned our members. Someone asked just last week when we were planning to re-open and our response was “We were never closed”! I’m so proud of our team as they should have the respect that front-line workers deserve.

We are also seeing many new faces looking for a place to Work Awesome. There are people trying to balance family and personal life with home schooling, sheltering in place, summer break, cooking more meals, and then trying to work, on top of it all. We can help by giving them a place to do their best work. If you know of someone who would benefit from a professional workspace and community, we are paying double referral bonuses in July and August.

Our July calendar is focused on keeping you connected. Join us for Virtual Speed Networking on the 9th. This fun, fast-paced event allows you to network from anywhere there's WiFi and the results are typically AWESOME! Our calendar also features interesting and relevant workshops. Register today for one, or maybe all of them!

This weekend will be a 4th like no other. We may not have fireworks or concerts to attend, but I challenge you to make the best of it! How are you celebrating? Show us your American Spirit this Thursday by wearing the red, white and blue and sharing a picture with us on social media. It may just pay off! I wish everyone a Yankee Doodle Dandy holiday weekend filled with food, family, friends, and fun. Stay safe.

Brian Lewandowski, member at Minnetonka OC, shared some awesome news with us about his 12 year old daughter's new business, Kids Teaching Kids . Julianna said her and her friends wanted to do good and create something positive during this challenging and difficult time and if she could "help out the parents" while "teaching kids in a fun and unique way" her time in COVID-19 lockdown, would be a positive one. Check our their website or learn more about services HERE !
