A coworking community and conference center on Bainbridge Island August 22, 2011 |
|
Opening Day is TODAY, Aug. 22
Greetings!
 | A peek at a cozy area |
Today is the big day. We are now open M-F, 8:30-5:30. After working our tails off, we are very happy with the look and feel. A big thanks to Eric Fredricks for managing the tenant improvements and suggesting brilliant solutions, and we have Ann Wilson to thank for the lucious wall colors and warm interior decoration.
Don't take our word for it... come see for yourself and try out coworking for free until Sept. 1. A few projects are still ongoing, but there is plenty of 'ready' space. Just drop by, sign in, and enjoy free wifi, coffee, and tea. Reserve conference rooms and invite guests. Print or scan, or try out the Skype videoconferencing. It will be a trial period for us, of course, so it will help us prepare for 'show time' if you show up and test us out. We look forward to the challenge!
And please help us spread the word by this newseltter to people you know who work from home but would like a little more community--to help them focus or to grow their business. |

Green Drinks at OfficeXpats is Friday
Friday, August 26th at 6:30 our doors will open to the sustainability networking group Bainbridge Green Drinks. Anyone can come, and it's free! We are pretty sure that all four restaurants in the Pavilion (Subi, Casa Rojas, Spice Route, and Local Harvest) will donate appetizers. We can personally vouch for their yumminess, and they are also able to provide goodies for your next meeting at OfficeXpats. So come by on Friday night to see what they have to offer.
Being an independent worker and avoiding long commutes is green already, but if you have a business that promotes a sustainability practice or product, you definitely want to get to know the folks who attend Green Drinks! P lease RSVP on the Green Drinks Facebook event page or email kat.gjovik@gmail.com. |
Get your OfficeXpats membership to 'work out'!
"Is there still a gym at the Pavilion?" Why yes, there is. Right across the hall, with locker rooms and showers. So how cool would it be if there was a sweet gym offer for OfficeXpats members? Take a break from work, and two minutes later you are working out!
OK, while it lasts, you can work AND WORK OUT by adding just $20/month to your membership. We'll post the details on the web site soon, but let us know right away if you want to get started. Memberships purchased prior to opening also qualify. Call us, 206.780.2177 for more information or to sign up. |

Don't forget, we're exploring 'new ways to work'.

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.
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

Sincerely,
