The WJ Denver Chapter recently moved it's headquarters from Springfield, MA to Providence, RI. The much more spacious office allows us to showcase the chapter's collectable telephones, pictures, documents and awards.
The office took 5 months to get ready with many volunteers taking part in it's transformation.
An Open House was held on March 22 to celebrate the move and to show off the telephone memorabilia in our museum. Activities included a membership drive, BJs Wholesale Club offering a reduced cost membership/renewal, refreshments and the sale of new FiOS tee shirts and other goods. Attendees made a donation to support a new Washington monument honoring
Veterans who are disabled for life, while having their Polaroid taken in a vintage phone booth. The chapter matched dollar for dollar all donations and $290 has been donated.
It was a wonderful day remembering the old and celebrating the new. Many thanks to everyone who attended for making the move a successful one. We look forward opening our new location and having many visitors drop by.
