In last week's issue we reflected on the first 100 days in Bucketworks' new space. Now that we have 6 years and 100 days behind us, we want to look with a critical eye at the next 100 days. And the 6 years after that. As we continue to improve and evolve both the space and our communications, we've organized four groups and would like to invite you to join one of them:

• Space Designers: Want to trick out the Bucketworks environment? Connect with Brian: b@bucketworks.org
• Marketing co-op: If we work together we can promote our events and programs more successfully. Connect with Jenn: jenn@bucketworks.org
• Bucket Brigade: Want to get paid to use your skills on a per-project basis? connect to Kevin: kevron@bucketworks.org
• Bucketworks Board: Help us migrate, replicate, and govern this idea. Connect with James: j@bucketworks.org

Host your event: Contact frontdesk@bucketworks.org

Got other needs? Contact Patrick: patrick@bucketworks.org

Co-Work at Bucketworks

The April 9 edition of CNN Living featured an article titled  "Next phase of working at home: Leaving home" which is about how many home-based businesses and single entrepreneurs are leaving the house to go work with others, in shared environments like bars, restaurants, and cafes. It turns out many people who work for themselves want to work with others. Bucketworks is a great place for co-working.  Regular members can use the Flowspace, Playspace, and Cafe during business hours-- and Professional Members have access to the Entrepreneur's Greenhouse: an environment fully stocked with conference room, desk space, copier, wi-fi, book library, and presentation tools. If you want to get out of the house and get focused, or meet with a client in a professional workplace environment, or just share the energy of productivity with others like you, start co-working at Bucketworks.

Here are some upcoming co-working opportunities:

• Bucketworks Co-Working Wednesday, April 30 5:30 -9:30pm
• Bucketworks Co-Working Wednesday, May 14 5:30 - 9:30pm
