On February 15, 2008, a three-alarm fire broke out in our office building in Virginia, and the place WOC called home for over 20 years was destroyed. Thankfully, no one was hurt and we were covered by insurance. Four months after the incredible tragedy, we moved into our new office in Washington, DC. This gallery features pictures of the new and improved office, and two of the fire damage to the old one. We thank our members and supporters for helping us rise from the ashes like the Phoenix! http://woc.smugmug.com/Other/WOC-National-Staff/1WOCOffice/341831693_zmE7o-Ti.jpg http://woc.smugmug.com/gallery/4419882_porvp/ 2008-07-30T00:35:53Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
