While many of those details are still in the works, stay connected to ECM through this newsletter for updates each month and follow ECM on Facebook and Twitter for updates daily. Later today ECM will also be featured on Pay It Forward radio to share about how ECM helps people do just that. The show will be aired online here at 5:00 pm today. Hope you can tune in!

The feedback gained from these conversations informs how we continue to build the Work Days moving forward. During this project last month, we were able to complete 25 evaluations and would like to complete another 25+ during this Work Day. The time frame will be from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. We will be working in the Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea neighborhoods. Please RSVP to Angela if you would like to get involved and to confirm the meeting location. The Big Day of Serving The Big Day of Serving will be in the Westwood neighborhood on Saturday, April 20. Our goal is to have 500 people involved.
