Elle Tatum, one of the new OfficeXpats ambassadors, is doing business outside-the-box to save you money. Elle is bringing her incredible skills as an optician and her delightfully fun and warm personality to her own new business, offering big savings for premium frames and lenses. She carries major frames brands like Vera Wang, Hemingway, Miraflex, Lily Pulitzer, Jones of New York, Converse, Eddie Bauer, Lipstick, and Lucky in a variety of lenses. And her prices are amazing! She has worked with optometrists for many, many years, so all you need to do is have your prescription forwarded to her and she'll handle it from there. 

Thursday, 5:30-7pm: Celebrate Elle's new venture and join us at OfficeXpats for a drink and nibbles. Ask her about all the creative ways she is contributing to and utilizing her community to launch her business. Welcome, Elle's Island Spectacle, to our Bainbridge community!

Although from Seattle, Bhama Roget is beloved by Bainbridge audiences from many years of first Saturday performances by the improv group, The Edge. Recently, she has also MC'd the Story Slam, a collection of mini-story-telling performances held at the Treehouse. And from April 19 through May 19, Bhama appears in Seattle Rep's 1960's comedy "Boeing Boeing." 

We are excited to welcome Bhama to our second annual Ignite Bainbridge, a fun, high-energy evening of 5-minute talks and socializing. The Ignite motto, "Enlighten us, but make it quick," captures the spirit of the event. Speakers have 5 minutes, 20 slides, and exactly 15 seconds per slide to entertain and inform you. A few slots for speakers are still available.
