The Arc of Atlantic County's Open House

January 26, 2006

 

On Thursday, January 26, 2006 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, The Arc of Atlantic County hosted an Open House to welcome friends, community partners, dignitaries and supporters to its new home at the Airport Commerce Center in Egg Harbor Township.

 

A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the official opening of The Arc's new office, followed by tours of the facility and staff presentations, hors d' oeuvres and wine, and a program to unveil the beautiful new donor wall in the main entrance of The Arc.   The program acknowledged generous friends and contributors to the newly established Facilities Fund and introduced four 'Arc Builders' whose " generosity, creative thinking and willingness to take a risk made the purchase of this building--along with all its potential—possible."
