This kitchen/lunch room in our new office is not even finished yet, but it already looks pretty amazing. Can you imagine that this particular space was an old manufacturing site for Agilent/Keysight? Thanks to a creative vision of Petaluma based MAD Architecture team this space has been transformed into something completely out of ordinary. We love repurposing our good, old campus and updating it with new design and technology. This means that our project is always evolving and ever changing. It is a SOMO living.
Today we attended Rebuild North Bay Conference at Sonoma State University. Rebuild North Bay was founded in the wake of the North Bay fires and it's goal is to ensure total and complete disaster preparedness for North Bay and to provide resources to community. James Lee Witt, a former director of Federal Emergency Relief Administration during the Clinton presidency, is set to serve as interim executive director. Every board member talked about the importance of the community coming together to find solutions and overcome challenges. It was a hopeful meeting and we are ready to work hard! #SonomaCountyStrong
We are proud to have Comcast as part of our SOMO community! Comcast employees have been tirelessly working on restoring cellphone, landline and internet services in the areas affected by the wildfires. During the crisis Comcast opened 78,500 free XFINITY WiFi hotspots throughout the California region and they will NOT charge fees for early termination, late fees, relocation fees or any other fees related to damaged or lost equipment. Last week the company announced that it is giving $500,000 in cash and another $1 million in services to the North Bay Fire Relief Fund. Thank you for all your hard work and support!
