Enjoy the last few days of summer! Fall is on the way. It's back to school and back to work just in time to finish Q3 strong. Thank
you for the fabulous testimonials made during CoWorking Week. You certainly knocked my socks off. While watching your genuine videos, I actually shed a tear. I am humbled by your sincere appreciation. This is what I imagined when creating our community and we have far surpassed my wildest dreams.
Our
September calendar is packed with Work Awesome events and I suggest attending one (or all!) of them to jump-start your business for fall. I think we could all use a dose of Awesome tomorrow at
Park OffiCenter. As you may have noticed, the City of St. Louis Park has held up the completion of the CoWorking space expansion. I'm hopeful that we will see real progress in September. The end is in sight, fingers crossed! We will host a Fall Extravaganza party when the new space is completed. Thank you for your patience during construction. On September 13 we're uncorking a NEW networking group at France OffiCenter. WTF,
Wine Time France, will meet the second Tuesday of every month from 4-5PM. A perfect opportunity to wine & unwind while connecting within our community.
As always, we appreciate your referrals. You are the reason that our business continues to thrive and grow. Offices are 100% full at France and Union Plaza and the virtual activity in the last two weeks has been unbelievable! Check out the
MN Lawyer article (top right) featuring VirtualOffiCenters and see why more people and businesses are choosing to Work Awesome, on their terms. Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. Take time with family and friends to enjoy the great weather. Looking forward to seeing you in the workspaces and at networking this month.

Northland Plaza is now Bell Plaza
This month Northland Plaza will undergo a transformation that will include renaming the building to Bell Plaza. France OffiCenter Members please note: if your correspondence currently includes the building name (Northland Plaza), delete this from your mailings. The USPS suggests using only your name/business name, street, city and zip code. Other items you may need to update due to the building name change are websites, directions, letterhead, etc.
Plan to join us on Tuesday, September 13 for Wine Time France, our NEW Networking Group at France OffiCenter, 15th Floor/Bell Plaza!

Joe
Knows Best!
"IVO" Joe O'Brien, member at Minnetonka OffiCenter, shares his top ten reasons why working at OffiCenters is better than from home.
Thanks "IVO" Joe!!
1. Office gatherings are WAY better attended.
2. Taking a "snow day" is actually exciting again.
3. During the week, I now shower more frequently.
4. Save money on pajamas not wearing out as fast.
5. Free beer. Yes, that is correct, I said "Free Beer!".
6. My productivity goes way up when my kids are at home for the summer.
7. I don't have to talk to myself in the kitchen anymore.
8. Workday tasks no longer include emptying the dishwasher (thanks Kelsey/Jan!)
9. Calling in "sick" for work is actually possible now.
10. My Monday through Friday, no longer looks exactly like my Saturday and Sunday!
