INTRODUCING THE MILL STREET APP
For the last few weeks, we've been working hard behind the scenes to create something really special for our members.
We're thrilled to share with you the Mill Street app, carefully designed and developed with connection and collaboration in mind. Complete with badges, groups, newsfeeds, events, projects, individual and group messaging, live-streaming, galleries and an incredible rewards platform in partnership with our good friends and office residents at Endurance Zone .
With everything in one place, we're so excited to get everyone onboard and share in-the-moment updates, offers and Make Good Grow projects with our members.
For those who joined us at our Halloween party last week, you'll have already seen the app in all its glory; otherwise, you can head on over to our Instagram to watch the trailer.
NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A HALLOWEEN PARTY!
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this week's newsletter, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to those who joined us for our spooktacular Halloween party last Friday.?
The feedback has been truly fantastic, and we're so pleased to hear that everybody had such a great night.?
?Everybody made such an effort to dress up, and we couldn't be more grateful to have such a fun and vibrant community.?
Special thanks to the Mill Street team, bar staff and The Klub for making it happen!?
SLACK PHASEOUT
You may have noticed that Slack has been slacking a bit recently..?
With our members onboard with the Mill Street app, we'll be phasing out Slack during November before saying goodbye for good on the 30th.?
The Mill Street app contains its own messaging feature, so we encourage you all to make yourself familiar with individual and group messaging before this date.
?Any questions? Give a member of the management team a shout.
For You - Sessions on self-development.?
For Your Business - Sessions on developing your business.
For Fun - Erm, we think you get the picture.
For Good - A little bit about the good that we're doing in the building.
