New Members Taking Advantage of Discounts
Greetings!
We are excited to have our first "featured member' in this update! Leif Utne is our official Xpat #1, and you can read more about him below. We will continue to feature other members in future updates because part of the value of being an 'Xpat' is the exposure you and your company gets within the coworking community. For a limited time, you can still save 50% just by purchasing three months or more of a membership at any level, any time in July. Go to Membership Registration, or just give us a call, 206.780.2177. Don't wait... July is almost over! |

"I'm looking forward to OfficeXpats on lots of levels," says Leif Utne, VP of Community Development at Zanby, a Minnesota-based startup that builds open-source online community and collaboration software. "Bainbridge Island is chock-full of amazing innovators and entrepreneurs doing really cool, worldchanging work. But like me, many of them are isolated in home offices. And the coffee shops are too noisy and chaotic to be an option. Coworking strikes a nice balance -- you can work for yourself, but not by yourself. I look forward to getting out and meeting more of my peers."
And what does Leif think about the trend of coworking? "Coworking spaces everywhere are hotbeds of creativity and innovation. This is how a huge percentage of people will work in coming years. I've been following the coworking movement for a long time, and I'm thrilled to be able to be part of it." Well, needless to say, WE are thrilled to have Leif as our official first member. And we look forward to learning more about that online community and collaboration software! |

| Who We Are | |
OfficeXpats on Bainbridge Island is a response to the growing need for a solution beyond working at the corporate office or working from home.
Coworking is about making the personal choice to work alongside other people instead of in isolation. We offer a shared office environment that meets the conferencing and community needs of remote workers, independent consultants, and entrepreneurs.
Opening this August, OfficeXpats is located in the Pavilion on Madison, just a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal. We hope to help you in your quest for 'new ways to work.' Jason and Leslie, The OfficeXpats team  | | The Pavilion |

P.S. Please help us get the word out that this new service is starting soon, at the Pavilion. Use the "Forward" link below to tell other independent workers that support is on its way!
Sincerely,
Leslie and Jason,
The OfficeXpats Team |
