This past weekend we wrapped up our schedule of Saturday Work Days happening every other weekend.  2014 was another record setting year of volunteer involvement with 3,705 people participating in ECM projects, allowing us to partner with 251 residents to complete a project at their home!  What strikes me most about these numbers is that each person can truly make a difference.  The generosity of each of you who have given your time to lend a helping hand during a Work Day project, multiplied times 3,705, means we are creating a culture of helping others and demonstrating that we are better when we work together.  So thanks for your role in making "being a good neighbor" a tangible reality in communities around Denver!

Fri Nov 14: Art is in the Air
"Art is in the Air" is next Friday, November 14 and we're getting excited for one of the most fun ECM events of the year!  We will have wine from Tony's Market, beer from Mountain Monk Brewing Co., appetizers from King Soopers and Maria Empanada, and homemade desserts.  We also have lots of great raffle and silent auction items for you to win as well!  Here what our event sponsor, Nate Postlethwait with Fuller Sotheby's International Realty, has to say about why he's involved in "Art is in the Air" in the video below.

Company Partner: Baron Properties
Baron Properties is a Colorado owned and operated real estate company committed to providing high quality apartment living at an affordable price. Their team of dedicated professionals bring to our communities more than thirty years of experience in property management.  The employees of Essex Financial Services joined a Globeville neighbor to paint her home recently and did a great job...thank you!
Company Partner: Denver Transit Partners
Denver Transit Partners Denver Transit Partners is the Regional Transportation District (RTD) selected concessionaire for the Eagle P3 Project.  The East Rail Line of the Eagle P3 Project is a 22.8 mile commuter rail transit corridor between Denver Union Station and Denver International Airport (DIA).  It will connect the Downtown Denver area with DIA and also provide a vital transportation link for adjacent employment, ­neighborhood and new development areas along the route.  We enjoyed having Denver Transit Partners join ECM for a recent Work Day in the Swansea neighborhood and for their support of being involved locally with the communities impacted by their work.  Thank you!
