Last month, we mentioned that ECM has many goals that we are working toward this year and highlighted the goal of providing incredible volunteer experiences for you through ECM and our partners. The goal we want to share this month is helping you to grow in your understanding of ECM. What does this mean? Simply put, we want you to understand the vision, mission, and long-term goals of ECM as you engage more fully and look at ways to be involved in addition to participating in one day projects. Take a look at the things featured in this message and consider how you can understand more about ECM through getting your company involved in a Work Day, collecting supplies for projects, or sending cards as just a few simple ways to get started. 2012 Work Day Schedule The ECM Saturday Work Day schedule is out for 2012, so you can start figuring out the date(s) for your group(s) to get involved in ECM.

The Big Day of Serving The Big Day of Serving You may be wondering what The Big Day of Serving is? The Big Day of Serving brings youth groups together for ONE DAY of service that will revolutionize an entire neighborhood! When you think about The Big Day of Serving, picture this: a thousand teenagers from youth groups in your area uniting to serve a neighborhood in need. This event takes place in cities across the country, but will be in Denver on April 28 and ECM is a partner in making it happen. We will be targeting the Westwood neighborhood by bringing help and hope to people through working on projects like painting, cleaning alleys, and removing graffiti. For more details, check out the video and spread the word to any youth you know. For more details and to sign up, click here. Company Partner to our newest company partner, Xcel Energy, for your financial contribution. We appreciate your support in working with ECM!
