I am excited for ECM Work Days and projects to begin this week and eagerly anticipate what the year will hold as we continue to impact Denver communities "one block at a time"! One of the goals for 2014 highlighted at our spring kick-off event this past weekend is to invite everyone to take another step forward after volunteering during an ECM Work Day.  Here are three ways to do just that:
  1. Follow ECM on Facebook and Twitter
  2. Participate in one of the Extreme Teams
  3. Join the Neighbor to Neighbor Club

Coming up soon is our annual Big Day of Serving event in Westwood, which will be Saturday, April 19.  We are looking for rovers with trucks, project leaders, photographers, videographers, as well as individuals and groups to volunteer on the projects such as alley clean-up, garden planting, graffiti removal, a mural project, and tree planting.  Here's the schedule for the day:

Spring Kick-Off Event
Thank you to everyone who came to the ECM Spring Kick-Off event this past weekend!  We had a great time at Converge Denver and enjoyed margaritas from Coyote Gold; chips, queso, and pork tacos from Jim 'N Nick's BBQ; green beans from Jake's Food and Spirits; and homemade desserts.  It was great to hear stories from some of our volunteers and residents, while sharing goals for ECM for this year!  To see photos from the event, click here.

ECM Work Day Partnerships
Sponsorship
 
One of our new opportunities to support ECM Work Days and projects this year is through a $500 partnership for each Saturday Work Day.  This contribution will cover the cost of renting a dumpster for debris and trash removal from the projects, along with other expenses that make the Work Days possible.  To learn more about how you or your company can participate as a Work Day Partner, click here.
Conversational Spanish Classes
Hola
Our next round of conversational Spanish classes begins next week, with a beginner and intermediate option.  The class lasts four Thursdays (April 10, 17, 24 & May 1) at the ECM office - 4200 Morrison Road, Unit 3 - and costs $20 per person. The intermediate class will go from 5:30-6:30 pm, while the beginner class will go from 6:30-7:30 pm.  The class will conclude with a joint potluck with a class of Spanish speakers learning English so everyone can practice together.  Contact Angela for more questions and to register.
