A coworking community and conference center on Bainbridge Island August 5, 2011 |

Coworking turns 6 on August 9; let's PARTY!  Greetings!
Last year some folks figured out that the first space dedicated to coworking--Spiral Muse Coworking Group--had opened on August 9, 2005, five years earlier. That makes coworking six years old in just a few days! Even though we are not ready to open for real just yet, we are going to celebrate. And for that one day only, you can save 50% on membership at any level by purchasing three months or more. Just show up at the Pavilion on August 9th and we'll sign you up, or go to Membership Registration, or just give us a call, 206.780.2177. See below for details about our party. |

"I don't need a full-time office space, but will enjoy being able to work outside of my home where I have business services such as copying, printing and wireless connections. I have added a couple of bookkeepers and it will be wonderful to be able to have a place to meet for staff updates, do some QuickBooks employee training and also to meet other entrepreneurs!" Welcome, Martha! |

Come to the Pavilion and celebrate Coworking Day!
The term 'coworking' has been around for a while, but Spiral Muse Coworking Group, started by Brad Neuberg on August 9, 2005, was the first dedicated space. Various coworking groups are now organizing events to celebrate August 9th as Coworking Day.
We're not sure how far along the tenant improvements will be by Tuesday. Regardless, even if we have to set up tables in the Pavilion's atrium, we will offer a day of coworking to the community, complete with free wifi, free coffee and tea, and free nibbles. We will even be providing free lunch while it lasts! Everyone is invited to come in the spirit of coworking, to bring your laptop and hang out while getting work done, or by taking a lunch break to join us for pizza or something grilled. Tell us the story of how you achieved worker independence, or make your future intentions official by signing our Declaration of Worker Independence. We want to meet you and celebrate new ways to work. Spread the word and show up; no RSVP needed. Also, on August 9th only, you can save 50% on membership at any level by purchasing three months or more. Just show up at the Pavilion for our party and we'll sign you up, or go to Membership Registration, or just give us a call at 206.780.2177. |

| 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 |

Sincerely,
