New Member Categories

After wrestling with membership categories and finding something that works we've settled on having to kinds of members--Residents and Roamers.

Basically Residents get to keep all their junk at their desk and get first pick of the conference room. Roamers get to bring in their laptops and find a free desk. The cost is figured on a 3:2 ratio. Whew, let's see if this works. It's more in line with other coworking spots, so it has promise.

The Train! The Train!

Yes, out our backdoor there was a big, green train engine towing three cars stacked with new railroad ties.

SoCo Depot's "Project Here" photo

"Somewhere between your home and your community there's a door. Project Here is about opening it."
So says the website at www.projecthere.org. The project collected portraits of front doors and the people who go in and out of them each day.

This is SoCo Depot's front door portrait of everyone who was here Thursday, Sept. 11th at 4 p.m. Our photo will be part of the tapestry representing Petaluma's community which will be shown at Aqus Cafe tonight, Sept. 19th, from 6-8 p.m.

In our portrait L-R: artist Jerrie Jerne Morago, visiting from Riverfront Art Gallery to scope out our walls for an art show, Me (Nancy Sinsheimer) photographer Rosemarie Lion with her hands in the air, Vanessa Bauch and her little dog, too, and Anthony Tusler, SoCo Depot founder, er, "sparkplug" who brought us all together in the first place.

Space Available

Well, we bid farewell to the Wheelerstreet programmers this week. We'll miss them—they were our young, high tech contingent.

But on the up side that means there is space available at the Depot for new coworkers. If you've been thinking about joining the coworking movement and getting out of the home/Starbucks office space and into a collegial workspace let us know.

Open House was Great

The open house we had on August 7 was great. There were somewhere around 75 people who came through. The food was wonderful and the space has never, ever looked better.

If you missed the party come by and see how the place looks with art on the walls and everything spiffed up.

KRCB Interview Friday

Bruce Robinson of KRCB came by and interviewed Anthony and Paul for a five minute spot on KRCB.

Check it out.

TONIGHT!

It's here! Our Open House is tonight, Thursday, August 7.

Come by between 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm to meet the coworkers, see the space (it looks really good), eat some canapes, and have a good time.

Look for the red balloons.

See you tonight.
