We are hosting one here at our Green Spaces Colorado space with one of our long-time members. It is fun - beginning to feel like a family. We have invited eachother on camping trips and out together at night and even hiking on weekends. Nice built in community and great to have people look at it as a space they can have a wedding at and invite all the Green Spacers.
Also we are starting to do most of our events as ongoing monthly events. We want everyone to be members of the space. We do some outside events but we have found that people like having a permanent home to host events. This also provides steady additional income and also more ownership in the space. Great news we are a 100% solar powered coworking space now! We worked out a deal with our landlord and ended up being a great investment for him with all of the rebates here in CO and federally. If anyone, wants to learn how we structured it - feel free to reach out to us - we are happy to share. On May 18, 12:35 pm, Susan Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > An Indy Hall wedding?!
