Greetings!
|
|
How has your summer been going? It's been a great time for ECM
as we've been able to connect with so many families through the involvement of
hundreds of volunteers. Never underestimate how giving even one day of your
time to something that helps others can make a huge impact on them, as well as
yourself. As we move from the summer to the hopefully cooler temps this fall,
we would like to invite you to get a group together to participate in ECM or to
look at how you can get involved as an individual. Keep reading to find out
more.
