Our alley was in dire need of a makeover. They told me about ECM and I just wanted to send a thank you note to you as well. I think teaching our youth the value of volunteer work is one of the best investments of our and their time."   - La Alma/Lincoln Park resident   In the past couple of weeks, hundreds of youth have participated in ECM projects as a great way to learn the importance of serving in their community.  If you want to join an ECM project this month so you also have an opportunity to serve, we would love to have you join us!   Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director  2013 ECM Work Days Join an upcoming ECM Work Day.  October is the last month of regularly scheduled Saturday Work Days, so make sure to join in before the weather changes.  We are looking for individuals to participate in a special project on Sat Oct 19 so contact Angela for more details if you can help out.                      Saturday, October 5 @ 9:00 am (Swansea)   Swansea Recreation Center - 2650 East 49th Avenue           Saturday, October 19 @ 9:00 am (Barnum)   Barnum Recreation Center - 360 Hooker     To get involved, please RSVP to Angela and follow the links below to fill out the appropriate liability form.
