NOTES FROM LORI

Hurrah Hurrah it’s the first of May! Rumor has it there are some sunny days in sight. I put out my patio furniture and empty planters this weekend in hopes that we may finally get some warmer weather and I can start having a cup of coffee on my deck. Don't forget you can get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors too with options for our members at Union Plaza and Minnetonka.

Thanks to everyone who attended our “Remodel Reveal” Social Hour at Minnetonka OffiCenter last month. We had a great turnout and a fun event. May is a great time to get out and see some of the other workspaces if you have not been. Stop in to any of our seven locations for a bonus BlackJack this Thursday! May the 4th be with you. Social Hour will be held at Edina OffiCenter on Thursday, May 11 and the usual suspects will gather on May 23 for Slice of Woodbury. I hope you can join us and make some great connections. We will be closed on Monday, May 29 in observance of Memorial Day.

We have a lot of things to look forward to this spring and summer with some remodels coming due and some building and parking lot updates. We will keep you informed as things are scheduled and post updates with pictures.

Last week, while visiting a few of our workspaces, I saw a food truck parked in the front of International Plaza. It looked like some excellent pizza options with a twist. It’s that time of year so get ready to enjoy all that Minnesota has to offer. Watch the monitors and calendar for a food truck near you.

Let’s have a Work Awesome month. All my best wishes to the mothers in our community for a Happy Mother’s Day later this month. Take some time to thank them for every hug, word of encouragement, and act of love. Have a calm and relaxing day!
Stacey Stratton, founder of True Talent Group and member at Edina, was recently featured in the business section of the Star Tribune. In her article, she shares how her upbringing forced her early to learn about work and frugality and why that has helped her never take success for granted. Learn how her diverse background led her to starting her own staffing agency in Edina, where she solves problems and finds great solutions for everyone. MORE
Our Minnetonka OffiCenter remodel is complete! We are excited to offer members new features like our soundproof phone rooms, that members can book (for no cost) if they need to take a phone call or video training. We also added a featured media wall, more coworking seating and booths and some new dedicated offices. We hope you enjoy the new layout of common areas like the kitchen and copier areas.

Head Outside!

With warmer weather right around the corner, now is the time to get out and enjoy all the amenities available to our members! Union Plaza (North Loop) opened their rooftop deck just in time to listen to the sounds from the Twins game, play a game of bags or just enjoy a soft seating space. Minnetonka's lower level with access to an outdoor patio includes games like shuffle board and foosball, plus overlooks a water feature and some beautiful greenery. Don't forget about the walking path outside our door at Park or beautiful views from the 15th floor at France.
