Participating in Pumpkin Glow
On Wednesday, October 29th several members of the Arrowstreet team headed over to Kendall Square for the 2014 Great Pumpkin Glow. The annual corporate challenge is sponsored in part by our client, BioMed Realty, and benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middlesex County.
The Pumpkin Glow took place in the North Plaza, in the shadow of our newest project for BioMed, 450 Kendall Street, and guests enjoyed pumpkin carving, live music, cocoa, and doughnuts before the winners were announced. Later there was a cocktail reception in the lobby of 675 West Kendall Street, catered by Blue Ribbon BBQ and featuring a 50/50 raffle. We all had a wonderful time and can’t wait to support this wonderful cause again next year.
Photography Contest Winners
Over the past few months, Arrowstreet has been holding an in-house photography contest, and our finale party was last Friday night. Initiated by Principal Sean Selby, the contest was another way to encourage everyone to explore our new neighborhood, allow the entire staff an outlet for their creativity, and throw in a little friendly competition for some prizes.
Arrowstreet Mini-Golf
This past Wednesday night saw the return of mini-golf to Arrowstreet, with friends and family joining us to play a round of 9-holes around our new office space while enjoying drinks and Chinese food. Our staff volunteers signed-up solo or as teams to design one of the eight possible “holes” designated on our office map, with the 9th hole being played on a Wii in our Voodoo Lounge. Each team had a $15 construction budget, and as in their day-to-day work, creative, green design was encouraged. Competition was fierce as each team was eager to take the bragging rights that go along with the coveted title of Best Hole.
