(Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically) to coordinate their charitable efforts to provide assistance to those in need in their community. The number of member congregations grew from 17 to 27 by 1973, 35 by 1983, 38 by 1994, to 42 today.","\nAt least through 1994, presidents of ALIVE! served for only a single fiscal year with the exception of founding president Bob Young, who served two non-consecutive terms. Present-day executive directors by contrast have served as long as a decade. For much of the period of these records ALIVE!'s component committees operated with a high degree of autonomy, and while annual turnover was common for the chairs of committees in these early years, individuals could remain prominently involved in them for significant lengths of time.","\nThe initial committees of 1969 were Furniture, Food, Housing, Clothing and Family Emergency, most of which survive to this day in some modern form. The ALIVE! House shelter was established in 1971, opening the following year. The Child Development Center was established in June 1972. Many other programs were also created over the years. If they proved less enduring, they were nonetheless significant to the people that they helped. Demand for services greatly increased in the early 1980s even as some established forms of financial support dropped off, this led to a series of articles in the Alexandria Journal in 1982 questioning whether the organization would even survive. It did.","\nIn 1988, an outside management consultant was brought in to file a report on the administrative and financial management of ALIVE! In 1990, due the pressing necessity to qualify for assistance in renovating the ALIVE! House, which had been purchased the previous year, the organization instituted an annual audit and commissioned a history of the property. The auditor questioned the independence of ALIVE!'s component committees and suggested the appointment of a paid executive director, an issue that was the subject of considerable study and debate within the organization. This culminated in a 1992 decision that ALIVE! was not yet big enough to warrant such a position. The decision to hire an executive director would not be made until 2004, although it is interesting to note that ALIVE!'s fliers changed the heading for its list of officers and chairpersons from \"Board of Directors\" to \"Executive Directors\" in 1990.","\nOther changes during this period included the 1990 decision for ALIVE! to join the Combined Federal Campaign, the changing of the fiscal year in 1992 from one ending on August 31st to one following the Alexandria municipal fiscal year that ends on June 30th, and the beginning of the newsletter's transition toward its modern incarnation, The ALIVE! Wire, in 1991.","\nThe renovation of ALIVE! House was completed in May 1994 just in time for ALIVE! to celebrate its 25th anniversary later that year. Its commemorations included Alexandria Mayor Patricia Ticer proclaiming May 1, 1994 \"ALIVE! Day\" as well as a number of efforts to preserve the history of ALIVE! These included Eleanor S. Wainstein writing an official history and preserving oral accounts as well as the donation of a part of ALIVE!'s records to the Alexandria Public Library to form the present collection.","The ALIVE! collection contains annual reports, financial records, correspondence, minutes, training materials, flyers, clippings, and newsletters from throughout the history of the organization but with an emphasis on the 1980s and early 1990s. It also contains material from individual committees and programs, and particularly the Family Emergency Committee. For additional detail see the descriptions of the individual series.","ALIVE's annual reports, arranged by fiscal year, are typically composites of brief reports from its main office and component committees with financial reports attached at the end and often a message from the president. The ALIVE! fiscal year ended on August 31st for most of its early history, but switched in 1992 to a fiscal year ending on June 30th (the current fiscal year of the City of Alexandria). It should be noted that the 1991-1992 fiscal year was only 10 months long.","The three reports for the fiscal years 1971-1972, 1974-1975, and 1975-1976 are missing from the records. Biennial reports for the fiscal years 2009-2014 are available from the ALIVE! Website.","The financial records series includes detailed budgets for 1988/1989 and 1989/1990, as well as the filings of IRS form 990 for tax exempt organizations for 1980 and 1991. IRS filings are available on the ALIVE! website for the year 2010 onward.","Also included are independent audit reports from 1990-1992, on the change in fiscal year calculation during that period see Annual Reports.  Financial statements including independent auditor's reports are available on the ALIVE! website for 2010 onward. ","ALIVE!'s correspondence files have been arranged into four chronological subseries. The first consists of internal memoranda, notes, and bulletins dealing with issues within the organization. The second deals with most external correspondence, including with other organizations and government agencies. The third covers correspondence with guest speakers and guests in general and consists largely of invitations and expressions of gratitude. The fourth contains correspondence with donors beyond ALIVE!'s membership and has been restricted due to some donations having been made anonymously.","This series contains all records relating to ALIVE! as a whole that do not fall under other series. It includes a file of schedules and lists that provides valuable information on who held which posts within ALIVE! and as congregational representatives over a decade of its history, several sets of brief minutes from ALIVE! meetings (see newsletters for more information), and some records on the question of appointing a paid executive director.","This series contains a 1974 training manual on working at ALIVE! and various flyers and handouts for volunteers for different ALIVE! committees.","This series includes records from individual committees and programs as well as specific issues that arose at one time or other, like the scramble to transport a large number of mattresses made available in Annapolis. The largest portion consists of records from the Family Emergency Committee.","The events series contains documents relating to ALIVE!'s 20th and 25th anniversary celebrations including histories of the organization. It also includes documentation on the renovation of ALIVE! House at 125 Payne in 1994 including a house history by Ruth Kaye.","A group of news clippings about ALIVE! from the Alexandria Journal was collected during  the Summer of 1982, there are no newsletters for this period, due to the absence of official meetings between June and September of that year. The articles evoke a sense of crisis largely absent from official newsletters and reports.","ALIVE! has had two runs of newsletters. The first was a run of simple monthly newsletters on single double-sided sheets, which included in some cases the minutes of meetings and financial reports from committees, and thus overlap significantly in content with other series. A second and more traditional newsletter, \"The ALIVE! Wire,\" began in Dec. 1991 and continued with \"vol.2\" in Oct. 1992 running concurrently with the original and continued to the present day with increasing regularity. More recent issues from the Fall of 2002 onward are available from the ALIVE! website.","The ALIVE! flyers contains two types of documents. The first is general flyers about the organization, which include a great deal of general information such as lists identifying the occupants of different executive positions for each year. The second consists of flyers for specific programs and events.","Local History and Special Collections Branch, Alexandria Library","English \n.

(Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically) to coordinate their charitable efforts to provide assistance to those in need in their community. The number of member congregations grew from 17 to 27 by 1973, 35 by 1983, 38 by 1994, to 42 today.","\nAt least through 1994, presidents of ALIVE! served for only a single fiscal year with the exception of founding president Bob Young, who served two non-consecutive terms. Present-day executive directors by contrast have served as long as a decade. For much of the period of these records ALIVE!'s component committees operated with a high degree of autonomy, and while annual turnover was common for the chairs of committees in these early years, individuals could remain prominently involved in them for significant lengths of time.","\nThe initial committees of 1969 were Furniture, Food, Housing, Clothing and Family Emergency, most of which survive to this day in some modern form. The ALIVE! House shelter was established in 1971, opening the following year. The Child Development Center was established in June 1972. Many other programs were also created over the years. If they proved less enduring, they were nonetheless significant to the people that they helped. Demand for services greatly increased in the early 1980s even as some established forms of financial support dropped off, this led to a series of articles in the Alexandria Journal in 1982 questioning whether the organization would even survive. It did.","\nIn 1988, an outside management consultant was brought in to file a report on the administrative and financial management of ALIVE! In 1990, due the pressing necessity to qualify for assistance in renovating the ALIVE! House, which had been purchased the previous year, the organization instituted an annual audit and commissioned a history of the property. The auditor questioned the independence of ALIVE!'s component committees and suggested the appointment of a paid executive director, an issue that was the subject of considerable study and debate within the organization. This culminated in a 1992 decision that ALIVE! was not yet big enough to warrant such a position. The decision to hire an executive director would not be made until 2004, although it is interesting to note that ALIVE!'s fliers changed the heading for its list of officers and chairpersons from \"Board of Directors\" to \"Executive Directors\" in 1990.","\nOther changes during this period included the 1990 decision for ALIVE! to join the Combined Federal Campaign, the changing of the fiscal year in 1992 from one ending on August 31st to one following the Alexandria municipal fiscal year that ends on June 30th, and the beginning of the newsletter's transition toward its modern incarnation, The ALIVE!
