Bainbridge Island at work... together! May 30, 2012 |
|
|
Greetings!
The Social Media workshops may be finished, but Annette Walker has agreed to offer "office hours" on Tuesdays from 11am-12pm. So come early to the Self-publishing workshops and continue your social media education! Village Speak comes to OfficeXpats next Monday evening. And check out our new "Café" membership, where you can be a coworker by the hour!
VillageSpeak spotlights "The Changing Face of Bainbridge Families"
June 4, 6:30-9:30pm: Five Bainbridge Island professionals discuss what they've seen happening with family demographics and family values on our Island over the past several decades. They will consider critical, village-making questions: Do we, as a town, need to get more deeply involved in supporting diverse, special needs, and transitioning families in order to strengthen our Island? Fresh on everyone's minds is the Ostling trial, and it's sure to come up in the conversation.
Village Speak is a new, nonpartisan Bainbridge Island forum, inspired by CityClub Seattle and Portland, that cultivates village-making through listening, learning, and engaging in smart conversation. |
