NOTES FROM LORI
Fall is in the air! I know I am enjoying the cooler weather, the changing leaves and the crisp aroma of pumpkin spice?! Things are changing in our workspaces too, AND for the better. I was able to visit most of our locations in September, and it thrills me to see coworking spaces buzzing with activity. We've had many new businesses join us this month and the list of new members is growing daily. Also, it's great to see some "old' faces returning with new business ideas or a new position and using our spaces again. A big thanks to our Work Awesome community for referring your friends and colleagues as YOU are still our #1 referral source.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Please do your part to encourage the women in your life to get a mammogram or donate to the cause through multiple fund raisers throughout the month. We also want to send a shout out to a former Park team member, Allison Scott, who is fighting her own battle with breast cancer. You got this! We send our love and prayers.
Did you see the OffiCenter feature in Edina Magazine last month? We are still making the news and I am so proud of our 40 years serving the Twin Cities workspace market. Read the full article HERE.
Pizza Networking was such a hit at Park OffiCenter that we are repeating it again this month. That makes twice the Pizza Networking for our members to enjoy. Pizza at Park Networking is October 7, and Slice of Woodbury is October 19. Stop in for a slice and to showcase your business as everyone shares their elevator pitch.
This month we are staring our remodel at France. The plans are ready but we are waiting for the materials to arrive so we can keep the mess to a minimum. In the meantime, stop in to see the spectacular views from the 15 th floor. The autumn colors make France OffiCenter a memorable workspace in the fall. Come join us for donuts/treats on Wednesday mornings Iβm thinking that a pumpkin flavor will make it into the mix this month! Hope to see you soon in our workspaces. |
