NOTES FROM LORI

Just when I thought Spring was right around the corner, we started this month with another blast of snow. And it wasn't an April Fools Day joke! This is usually my favorite month of the year, not only because I celebrate my birthday, but because I love saying goodbye to winter and look forward to the (hopefully) warmer weather on the horizon. I'm ready to see the green grass, and so is my dog, Spike!

I hope you can join us for Social Hour at Minnetonka OffiCenter on April 13. This will mark the first networking event in our remodeled space. I'm excited to show you our new features, including the media wall and phone rooms which are already a big hit. Plus, who doesn't love free appetizers, wine and open networking? Our other networking event this month is Slice of Woodbury, which seems to be our most popular event and I think this is the month some of you should head east and give it a try on April 25. As always, pizza lunch is on us!

As a reminder, April 26 is Administrative Professionals Day. This day is set aside to recognize the individuals who are the backbone of not only our business, but yours too. We will be celebrating these AWESOME professionals and invite you to do the same.

We've welcomed many new members during the month of March. I think you'll start seeing a lot of new faces. Remember to introduce yourself and build new connections as it's a true perk of your OffiCenter membership. 

As we leave the first quarter in the rearview mirror, let’s look ahead to the rest of the year. Start something new for Spring! I'll see you in the workspaces later this month.
Untiedt's Vegetable Farm, a Minnesota family business since 1971, are members at Park. Their crops are grown locally and delivered directly to you through unique roadside gazebos, farmers markets and garden stands, like the one opening by the end of April in the parking lot of Park Place East. It's a sign that spring is in full swing when you see their stands with bright flowers and spring produce straight from the farm. Learn more about their team and programs HERE.
Bunny Besties, OneCommunity members at Minnetonka, were recently featured on the KSTP morning show, MN Live. Jennifer Smith, founder, tells about their mission for spreading positivity through Bunny Besties' social media platforms and community engagement. They also provide sanctuary to rabbits in their program and act as a resource/educator for rabbit owners throughout our community. See how bunnies reduce stress and bring joy to so many people HERE.
The Minnesota Twins, our North Loop neighbors, will play their home opener on April 6 at 3:10PM against the defending champion Houston Astros. Although you can hear home games from the Union Plaza parking lot, we suggest the more relaxing roof top deck option (once it's open). Keep your computer, radio, or listening devices tuned to WCCO where you can hear all Twins baseball games, home and away. Listen to the TWINS WIN HERE.
International Plaza building management team are excited to reveal the April schedule for food trucks. Mark your calendars now to get lunch from Philicious Phillys (April 4 &14), Eggroll Queen (April 20) and El Burrito Mercado (April 28). Trucks will be onsite from 11AM to 1:30PM and parked in front of the main entrance. Will your favorite truck make an appearance at Int'l Plaza? Watch our electronic signs for additions made to the April schedule and ENJOY!
