The Fiore Companies is pleased to welcome Sean Hubbard, the newest member of our team. As Tenant Support Specialist, Sean is located at the front desk in the building's lobby.

Sean's role at Network222 is to assist tenants with a variety of needs, including security, parking, conference room scheduling and general reception for the building. Sean also sells postage stamps, discounted Madison Metro bus passes, and is a resource for all your commuting needs.

You may already be familiar with Sean as he joins us after spending two years with Errand Solutions as a Concierge and Vendor Relations Manager.

Outside of work, Sean is a regular performer with the Madison Opera and is also a Board member and active player with the Madison Minotaurs R.F.C., a new rugby union club starting in Madison.

Welcome, Sean!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Car Lite Diet program this month!

Network222 was one of several participants chosen to pilot this program, which is part of a larger initiative to improve Dane County's air quality.

Also, please join us in congratulating Stafford and Rosenbaum's Renee Hegberg, winner of a $100.00 Downtown Madison Gift Card!

During the Diet, Renee carpooled 750 miles to work. She shared her ride with two others. By taking two cars off the road, they reduced traffic and improved our air quality, including reducing approximately 1500 pounds of global warming pollution in just two weeks!

Congratulations Renee!

The Tenant Spotlight article will highlight a different Network222 tenant each month. This month we welcome 5Nines Data to its expanded administrative digs on the third floor. It's 3,000 square foot commercial data center is still located on the first floor.

Founded in 2003, 5Nines Data provides data center, wide area networking and Internet services as well as on-site IT integration and support services to businesses in southern Wisconsin. 5Nines shares its new office space with its parent company, Matador Consulting, which provides technology, management and marketing consulting services nation-wide.

A revised Network222 Tenant Handbook will soon be ready for distribution. Many changes have been made so please be sure to review it carefully.

Sean will distribute copies to all tenants and will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Maintenance Minutes will feature articles from Fiore's maintenance department. This month we have some thoughts on energy consumption from Phillip Maier, Director of Facilities.

I was recently involved in a lively discussion relating to global warming. Most of our group had a good understanding what they could do within their personal lives but had very little understanding how they could impact their work environment. I have listed a few items as a starting point that can become part of your office operating practices at Network222.

• Turning lights off that are not needed and don't forget your work station lighting.
• By working with your I.T. department deciding which computers can be turned off at the end of the day.
• Switching off copier machines and coffee makers.
• Keeping a light sweater within your work environment that can be close at hand for the seasonal change overs.
• Lastly and my favorite, we have all heard from the medical profession encouraging us to "take the stairs"! Did you realize that taking the stairs is also good for the environment? Elevators do use electrical energy to operate.
