BASE : Play With a Purpose

There are thousands of cool things to do, ideas to think about, and people to meet... but who's gonna connect the dots? Who can make it happen? BASE is that connection. It's about fun – mixed with purpose and passion. It's a community of interesting and diverse people who want to get "it" done - whatever "it" is.

BASEiversary Bash tomorrow!

We're turning one!

It was just one year ago we launched BASE: a young person's group that was all about creativity, enthusiasm and building a network of like-minded individuals. Something cool and fun, yet still with meaning. It was just one year ago we started playing – with a purpose.

What better way to celebrate a year of BASE than a super-fun, super-casual outdoor celebration…with lawn games, cake and dozens of potential new friends!

The deets:

What: BASEiversary Bash
When: Wednesday, May 28th, 6:00 - ?
Where: ST Morrison Park, Coralville
( Google Map link at http://www.getonbase.org )

Share the love and bring a friend. We'll see you tomorrow!

So Excited for the BASEiversary!

I just got the email announcing the BASE one-year celebration, so I went immediately to the website to check out what's what. I LOVE the photo of the "BASE Cake" (though I have no idea who baked it and/or got a cake to look that way), and am so looking forward to the event! I think this will be a great way to play outside (after our terrible winter we deserve it) and to connect with old friends and to meet some new friends. After our super-successful launch of one year ago, it will also be a good time to reflect on where we've been, where we're going, and to draw some interested people into the fold.


So Happy Birthday, BASE! I look forward to seeing you all on May 28th :)

Bienvenidos al Blog!

Hola!

For those of you that are reading our blog for the first time…welcome! If you haven’t made it to a BASE function or are just curious as to what we are all about, this is a good starting place. BASE folks of all stripes post from time-to-time about whatever is on their mind.

A few posts to check out:

NEWBIE: from a newbie BASEr, Josh, about his first ever BASE event

BASE-B-Que: an invite to our most recent get-together, which was a smashing success

Can you play tennis with a BASEr?: evidence that we really do post about pretty much anything

We hope you’ll join us soon (in fact, we have a Casual Collaboration tonight - see below!). In the mean time, keep your eyes on the blog and let us know (getonbase@iowacityarea.com) if you’d like to post something that's on your mind. The more, the merrier!

Hasta Luego!
