NOTES FROM LORI

Happy Birthday OffiCenters! We are 41 years young today! You heard that right. Someone recently asked if there was really coworking that many years ago. Well, we called it shared offices, executive suites, business centers and more names than I can count. But we have been proponents of coworking and the shared office concept of some form or another since 1981. Happy birthday to us! Join us for a cupcake today at 1PM in our coworking spaces to help us celebrate.

I can't believe it's June 2022. Every month, I sit at my desk to write a newsletter message and reflect on how quickly time passes. Unbelievable. We keep marching along one day at a time and another month goes by and the half year mark is approaching. We are incredibly busy, which is a good thing. All of our workspaces are teeming with new members and old members who keep dropping in. This year, we have seen more expansions, additions and migrating to more robust plans than we have in years. The changes signal growth in all areas and doesn’t that make us all feel more positive?
Come into the workspaces and see for yourself! We have a great team of people here to help you navigate your work awesome experience. The energy is back and it’s up to you to come in and grab some for yourself. We will have two networking groups this month and both include pizza. Is the best part the pizza? NO! it’s the community and collaboration that is ready to take you to the next level. It’s buzz worthy! We are also kicking off a new LinkedIn Connection Party event with Anne Pryor on June 28. See the full article below for details!

Our team is committed to our OneCommunity partners. This month we will “WALK” Awesome for The Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund, who are members at our Minnetonka location. Please consider supporting our local charity partners because they need your time and dollars more than ever. Get involved HERE.

Things are heating UP so go out and enjoy the weather. Take a look at your first and second quarter income. If you aren’t happy with the numbers, you still have time to change the outcomes for 2022. See you in the workspaces!
