The workspaces that are probably the most tangible things about BEAHIVE are just means to several ends. But they are a key component of our model. And more space allows for more means and more ends. Which is why we've been aching to expand our Beacon location into the front room since we moved in. We need more members to do that. We could also partner with a like-minded group or business to share that space with us — a small gallery, a group of artisans who could display their wares there, a nonprofit that needs some space for its small staff, a group that just needs a regular place to meet. So if you know of anyone who may be a good fit, by all means connect us. And remember we have plenty of room for individual members and groups in Kingston. MORE HELP = MORE HONEY (OR, INTERNS) We have an ongoing need for interns (description) to help realize that larger vision. We particularly need someone soon to help plan and coordinate events in Kingston and/or Beacon. Spread the bzzz, please. MORE MONEY = MORE HONEY (OR, SPONSORS) Your message here! Well, not exactly here. But the buzz around BEAHIVE is ever-growing and we're looking for like-minded groups or individuals who want to tap into it. Reach a quality, engaged audience through our events, email list, newsletter, Meetup group, Twitter, etc. Contact Scott to discuss opportunities. MORE ART = BETTER HONEY We've started exhibiting art in our Kingston space and plan to have a monthly rotation, tapping into the First Saturday event (like Beacon's Second Saturday). We're looking for artists to hang. Spread the bzzz, please. (Our first artist is Penny Dell. Opening reception: Friday, Feb. 26, 5PM — leading into our regular New Music Salon at 7PM.) MEMBER BZZZ Welcome to our final class of 16 Kingston Founding Members: technology counselor Gerald Berke; Carl Frankel — managing director of the Center for the Intimate Arts; IBM consultant Heather Johnston; web implementor Marian Konop and web engineer Gary Mort of Gotham Informatics. New Beacon members: architect Kevin Byrne; credit risk modeler (?!) Sam Browning of ZAIS Group; writer Gina Van Nosdall. Founder Scott Tillitt's other life is doing communications and PR for progressive issues and ideas through Antidote Collective. He's working with BALLE / Business Alliance for Local Living Economies to promote their 8th Annual Business Conference in Charleston, May 21-23. BEAHIVE's principles overlap with BALLE's and indeed our vision aligns quite nicely. Another new Antidote project: "One World: A Concert for Peace & Reconciliation" at the New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYC), April 24. It's a program of Arts at the Intersection, a new initiative using the arts to engage intercultural and interfaith dialogue. I [HEXAGON] BEAHIVE "I love the spirit of BEAHIVE, its animating principles — and look forward to becoming more actively involved." (Kingston member Carl Frankel, Center for the Intimate Arts) I [HEXAGON]... "The scale of Uptown Kingston. It's like Cheers, only its not a bar, it's a community. Where everyone knows your name."

Donations appreciated. This month's film: Helvetica (2007) We use it every day on our computers, we see it on street signs — and we take it for granted. Now, Gary Hustwit's unique documentary introduces us to Helvetica, a font whose readability has made it the most popular in the world. Interviews with designers and artists offer insight into the development, use and universal acceptance of Helvetica as the typeface of choice for everything from writing letters to creating corporate logos. (80 mins.) * * * * * * * * * * * * * Each month at this intimate, informal gathering at the hive, we show a film with a message — sometimes entertaining, sometimes political, always inspiring, engaging and thought provoking. We start the evening with a kind of bring-your-own happy hour and then screen the film around 7PM. We'll have healthy, organic popcorn. Please bring something to drink and other food to share if you like. Projector generously provided by Fovea.

Resolve to rectify that this year. Engage with us. We're more than just a physical place with desks and wifi and printers. We're a diverse community of members with a range of creative and technical talents. We plan programs and events to inspire, educate and bond: personal and professional development workshops, seminars, social and cultural events. Beacon member Andy Rinehart (a web/multimedia designer) says it pretty well: "Working at BEAHIVE has solved the isolation problem typical of solopreneurship. But more than that it has given me the chance to belong to something larger. The opportunities for valuable networking, collaboration, consultation and community are huge. I even have the sense that belonging to the hive lends extra credibility to my business. And the space itself has that artisanal sort of magnificence that is out of reach for many freelancers. BEAHIVE is special, progressive, affordable, unique and utterly invaluable." Join us as a member. Come to one of our events/programs (many are open to all). Or produce a program and help your fellow (wo)man. We have two beautiful spaces for that very purpose. Already a member? Then engage more. Take advantage of us. We like that. We have bigger plans for 2010 — togrow our community and our impact, to realize our larger vision. KINGSTON LAUNCHES We quietly opened Kingston last month and so far we have 9 Founding Members (besides the Chronogram folks). Join before February 1 and you too can be one. We're kicking it in earnest this month with several regular events. See the sidebar. JINGLE BZZZ, JINGLE BZZZ... Even if you missed our BEAHIVE+BCN Holiday Party last month in Beacon, you may have heard about it. Roughly 200 people rocked the hive on Second Saturday. Fovea raised $700+ from works by local photographers at the silent auction we hosted. The buzz resonated long after the bees left the building. Check out these photos by member Paul O'Hanlon. MEMBER BZZZ Graphic designer (and BEAHIVE logo and materials creator) Steven Blumenthal recently started MAC MEN, personal training on the most popular Mac apps. He'll come to you or meet you at the Beacon hive on Main St. Welcome Kingston members: Beth Bengtson, Perry Goldschein and Arthur Zaczkiewicz of sustainability strategy and communications firm SDialogue; life coach Ethan Campbell of Pro Stress Relief; management consultant Chad Gomes of Booz & Company; John Lehane – founder/CTO of WAKA Kickball (!); website designer Sean O'Dwyer of Design ICU; and Debra Seidman of Art of Massage Massage Therapy.
