I wanted to post a link to the local coworking group I started in Fayetteville, NC in case anyone knows someone in the area who'd like to join. It's http://meetup.com/fayetteville-coworking.
We have no dedicated space, but in the span of a week, a bunch of us came together, agreed upon a recurring time and place, and began coworking together at a coffee shop! We're working together at a big table at the spacious, modern Marquis Market <http://marquismarket.com/> from 10am-3pm, Tuesdays through Thursdays. I am <http://aliciahurst.com> a member of New Work City <http://nwc.co> in NYC, but have been spending most of the late fall here in North Carolina, and may be moving here next year. There are a dozen coworking spaces in the Carolinas, but none in Fayetteville, which is about 60 miles south of Raleigh. I figure that even if I don't end up moving here, if I can plant the seed that forms the community, it would at least expose the metro area to the idea and perhaps get the ball rolling for others even if I am not ultimately part of it. And we are in wholehearted agreement of a* community first* model. The space will come later, if/when. So far we have 9 coworkers, 4-5 of whom show up on any given day. Other than one fellow coworker (an IndyHall <http://indyhall.com> alum), the rest of the members are completely new to coworking! We're hoping to have at least 12 members by the end of the year. I'm working on promoting the group in various ways, but suggestions are always welcome. So yeah, a good start for less than a month's worth of work. :) Thanks for reading and sharing! -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
