I don't like doing announcement emails like this, but I'm so excited about what's going on at Indy Hall right now I wanted to give everyone a chance to be updated. Apologies if you're receiving this multiple times as I've sent a very similar email to the Indy Hall public newsletter list as well.  

 


On April 1st, we announced that we were going to be executing an expansion and "redesign" of Indy Hall to include the 1st AND 2nd floor of 20 N.3rd St.
 
In just under 2 months, we've pulled everything together and will be opening the new 1st floor on June 1st. It being a First Friday in Old City and our new space being accessible to the sidewalk, we're hosting our opening party with beer, snacks, art, and music and we hope that if you're anywhere near Philly, you can make it. 

If you're not anywhere near Philly, I hope you'll join us in spirit.
 
RSVP at http://party.indyhall.org

Festivities begin at 6pm. Hope to see you there!

 

AND ONE MORE THING...

Sponsor A "Step to Success"

One of my favorite aphorisms is,
"there's no elevator to success, you have to take the steps"
 
As a part of Indy Hall's redesign, the elevator between the floors will be reserved for freight and handicapped access, so the aphorism will translate nicely - "there's no elevator at Indy Hall, you have to take the steps"!
 
We thought, "wouldn't it be cool to have members, friends, and companies leave words of inspiration and wisdom on the steps for Indy Hall members, really making them 'the steps to success'?".

Don't look directly at the light
 
If you'd like to be immortalized as an important part of an Indy Hall centerpiece, we'll be selling sponsorships for $1500 per step. If Indy Hall's had an impact on you, and you're in a position to join as a sponsor (or gather a group of cosponsors), we'd be thrilled to have members of the global coworking community a forever-part of Indy Hall as well.

A sponsorship helps cover the cost of the stair installation as well as the art/typography prep and laser cutting process. If you're interested, please reply to me personally to get on board as a sponsor - you can even choose which "step" you want to be yours. 
 
Our first few steps have already been spoken for thanks to a couple of generous lenders from the Indy Hall community, so get in touch quickly to be a part of this unique centerpiece for Philly's coworking community.

 

Thanks
 
There's too many people to thank individually for their help and contributions and support over the last couple of months, but it's important to remember that this kind of project is more like a barn raising than anything else and wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the dedication and support of community members and friends like you. We're lucky to be members of the larger communities here in Old City, in Philadelphia, and the world. 
 
Thank you for the opportunity to lead the effort, and allowing me to be a part of something so special.
 
-Alex
Co-founder & Fearless Leader of Indy Hall

Congrats Alex! This is a huge step. (Heh, "step")

I understand that part of your plan to undertake this expansion was to diversify IndyHall's offerings and expand programming in the space, which I think is a really important thing. Looking forward to learning more about your experiences!

Great news - expanding/adding more space is like giving birth - lots of pain but then the JOY makes it all worth it!
