"I'm emailing you regarding opportunities to volunteer and help get involved in your organization.  I have never volunteered before but somehow mustered up the courage as its something I've always wanted to do....be a part of real change and be around people who are dedicated to building a better community. Please let me know what the next steps to take are!"   Lately I've shared notes from residents who have appreciated the helping hands of volunteers.  However, I received this message just last week from someone who wants to volunteer for the first time.  This message is a great challenge to each of us to step out and help others and I would invite you to participate in ECM as one way to do that!   Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director  2013 ECM Work Days Join an upcoming ECM Work Day.  Future dates can be found on the calendar on our website by clicking here.                        Saturday, September 7 @ 9:00 am (Westwood)   Redeemer Lutheran Church - 3300 West Nevada   Place              Saturday, September 21 @ 9:00 am (Elyria)   Colorado Miners - 4809 Race     To get involved, please RSVP to Angela and follow the links below to fill out the appropriate liability form.

Mayor Hancock Visits ECM We had a very special guest visit our ECM Work Day on August 10 - Mayor Michael Hancock!  As part of the Denver Days week-long celebration of connecting Denver neighbors, Mayor Hancock came to visit some of the different projects taking place and ECM was one of them.         Save the Date: Fri Nov 8 Mark your calendars now for our fourth annual ECM fundraiser "Art is in the Air" on Friday, November 8 from 7:00-9:30 pm.  We have already gathered an impressive list of silent auction items, with many more great things in store.  The event will take place at the Artwork Network gallery in the Art District on Santa Fe.  More details to come so stay tuned. Company Partner: Nate Post Homes ECM would like to give a huge thank you and shout out to Nate Post Homes for becoming our most recent Company Partner.  Nate is an amazing realtor committed to Denver and to his clients.  In fact, he makes a donation to a non-profit in our city with every closed transaction, which is chosen by his clients. If you need a realtor, be sure to contact Nate and support ECM at the same time.  Thanks Nate!   August Volunteers Thank you to the 410 volunteers this past month who capped off an amazing summer of helping our Denver neighbors complete home and neighborhood improvement projects.   Agility Solutions Bethany United Methodist Church Colorado Christian University DirecTV Extreme Community Makeover Board of Directors Greenwood Community Church Group Week of Hope His Love Fellowship RE/MAX Southern Gables Church University of Denver Alumni Youthworks
