Cross-Sound field trip brings coworkers from Seattle's Capitol Hill
Greetings!
THIS FRIDAY, 10/14: The Nomads are coming! The Nomads are coming! And let's all plan to give them a warm welcome. Office Nomads is a coworking space on Seattle's Capitol Hill, and the founders Jacob and Susan have been enthusiastic supporters of OfficeXpats ever since we started asking them endless questions while forming our vision and looking for a space. As a matter of fact, Leslie and Jason first heard about coworking by attending events where Jacob and Susan were featured as speakers on that topic.
You won't want to miss this event. We will be hosting lunch, free to our members and the Nomads, and we expect to hear lots of good stories from these veteran coworkers. Susan and Jacob also travel to many other coworking sites around the country, so we hope to learn a lot from these pioneers and get a sense of the greater international trend that we are a part of.

Time Banks? Community Exchange Currency?
Come find out about two new local trading systems that are starting up on Bainbridge Island. A Time Bank exchange, where everyone's hours are valued equally, is being explored by a group on the Island. The Fourth Corner Exchange is already up and running, and provides an existing local currency for trading goods and services.
A time bank system and a local trading exchange are both ways for building community resilience. Local community trading currencies can support our local economy particularly in a time when the global economy is ailing. The more our community members get to know and trust one another, the more resilient our community can become. The more local goods and services we can provide for one another, the stronger our local economy can become. Join us Wednesday at 7pm, October 19th to find out more! Contact Chuck Estin cestin@gmail.com, or 206-551-8496. Drop-ins welcome. |

| Who We Are | |
OfficeXpats on Bainbridge Island is a workplace solution beyond commuting to 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 "community" office for remote workers, independent consultants, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
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
