With a new year upon us, a number of possibilities exist. Whether or not you make resolutions at the start of the year, you are probably anticipating what the year holds in some way. I know we are excited to see what the year holds for Extreme Community Makeover at least! If one of your goals is to volunteer or get more involved in your local community, it would be great to talk with you about how you can do just that through ECM this year.

Looking for a Place to Store Our Tools
|
ECM has a number of tools such as brooms, rakes, shovels, a lawn mower, and a variety of other things and we are looking for a storage place where we can keep them, preferably in an easily accessible location to the neighborhoods where we work. If you have any ideas or leads, please contact Angela to share your thoughts. We would like to figure this out in the next month or two so that we have time to move all the tools to their new home in anticipation of projects starting up again in the spring. |

Save the Dates: Feb 4, 22, & 28
|
More details will be available next month but there are a couple events coming up in February we would like to invite you to attend.
Wednesday February 4 at 5:30 pm: This event will be the first of three volunteer happy hours to take place this year. The goal is for you to connect with other people around Denver who are also interested in volunteering, while learning more about the ways to volunteer through ECM. The location will be determined soon, so check our website for those details.
 Sunday February 22 at 5:00 pm: Cheer on the Colorado Avalanche at a game vs the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tickets will be available on our website soon with $27 tickets in the upper level and $57 tickets in the lower level. $5 of each ticket sold will be donated to ECM.
Saturday February 28 at 10:00 am: This ECM Work Day will look a little different than our typical yard work and painting projects. Instead, volunteers will be following up with residents ECM assisted in 2014 to gain their feedback about the project help they received, along with asking for input about their neighborhood through one-on-one conversations.

Foundation Partner: The Denver Foundation
|
 The Denver Foundation is a community foundation that inspires people and mobilizes resources to improve life in Metro Denver. In 2013, the Foundation and its donors awarded more than $47 million in grants. ECM is extremely appreciative to be one of the recent recipients of an economic opportunity grant and eagerly anticipate partnering with The Denver Foundation to improve the quality of life for many Denver residents.

Church Partner: Restoration Community Church
|
 Restoration Community Church is a group of people simply trying to follow Jesus. From the beginning, they designed their services as a safe place for people to explore faith and grow in their relationship with God, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey. At Restoration you can be yourself, build life changing friendships, and make a difference in the world both locally and globally. One of the ways Restoration is doing just that is through their partnership with ECM. Thanks for your support both financially and with your time!
