ñ ANNUAL MEETING

ñ Office On The Move, Part 1

ñ’s New Home, located in Old Town, Alexandria, VA

When ñ was established in 1900, our office was one large room in a Jerusalem hotel. During the past 119 years, we have dramatically expanded our scholarly capacity and public outreach—both abroad and in North America. Yet in North America, we moved frequently, from one host institution to another.

Now, we have finally started the move into our new home. While we don’t close on the purchase until April 24th, the Alexandria staff started moving in last week. The move has been gradual, moving boxes of journals and books and emptying desks at Virginia Theological Seminary.

The staff has been eager to start settings up their new work spaces at Commerce Street so the move has gone smoothly! Office chairs and folding tables make up the temporary furniture for the four Alexandria staff, but they seem to be adjusting well!

Marta and Felice are working setting up internet, phones and printers to be installed after ñ closes on the building. China is settling ACOR in their new office. Andy is already setting up lunch meetings in the Old Town area.

The team is excited about the possibilities for how the space will transform into a working and dynamic area in which the

current and future staff are proud to work. It is especially gratifying to know that ñ is also helping to preserve the local historic architecture of Alexandria (the office was built c. 1880s)! The history of this area is vibrantly alive and maintained along the cobbled streets of Old Town. We hope that you will stop by and visit us when you are next in town. Your generous support is the reason ñ has a home now. We could not have done it with you. Thank you.

 

How You Can Help This Move. If you have not already made a gift, please consider joining the “450 for $450,000” challenge gift campaign by donating to ñ before June 30, 2019 (all gifts, including programs other than the building qualify). If you have already pledged or made a gift to support our new home, please think about increasing your gift or pledge to the building so that we can raise the last $82,000 needed to qualify for this $450,000 challenge.

 

To recognize your support, we offer naming opportunities at the following levels:

  • Naming of conference room or floor = $300,000
  • Naming of an individual office (sizes vary) = $100,000 – $250,000
  • Name recognition on smaller office spaces = $25,000 – $99,999
  • Name on plaque recognizing major donors = $10,000 or more
  • Name on a plaque recognizing all donors at “brick” level or higher = $250 or more
