Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Grand Opening Celebration and Ribbon Cutting last week. It was a pretty special event and I’m glad that you were a part of it. Attendance was far bigger than we expected but thankfully we bought enough beer, wine and snacks.

We’re really proud of the new Gravitate Coworking—Downtown space and the community that gives it life every day. We couldn’t wait for the event to be able to share it with all of you.

Gravitate is going all out this holiday and we need your help. Our member Derek Brooks and his wife Kari have connected us with three local families to learn what could make their holidays extra special. We've setup a Christmas tree at each Gravitate location where you can drop off presents to be given to the families detailed below.

EJ loves Gravitate because his previous office was expensive, lonely and uninviting. He states, “Gravitate is the kind of place that gives your the opportunity to share a work space with other professionals, providing an excellent networking and supportive environment. Plus, you can't beat the price!”

Thirsty Thursday anyone? I know I'm in! Good afternoon and welcome back for a NEW #Gravi-Member Spotlight! This week we are bragging about our favorite Frenchman, Julien Duhautois! You know what to do, but I will remind you! Keep reading!
