WEEKLY/MONTHLY EVENT DESCRIPTIONS
Every Monday 9:30am: Coworker Check-in
Set your top goals for the week and get some accountability when you commit to them with a group of coworkers. We use a white board and sticky notes to keep track of who said they would do what. Priorities change and things happen, but the public disclosure usually makes a difference in our ability to do what we say we will do. We end at 10am so that we can get back to work. Try it!
Every Tuesday, 9am-noon: Free Computer Support
Drop in with your laptop or your questions, and Jason will offer advice or fixes.
Every Tuesday, 11am-noon: Social Media mentoring with Annette
Got a quick question about social media? Come in and ask Annette!

Every Thursday, 4:30-5:30pm: Coworker Happy Hour
No agenda, just social. Members take a break to introduce themselves and share a drink with other coworkers. Once a month (usually the 3rd Thursday) we hijack the happy hour, start it at 4pm, and turn it into a member meeting where we give updates and listen to feedback. Great ideas, such as the hourly Cafe membership, come out of this meeting!
