November Extreme Endeavors: Lening Helping Hands = Making a Difference

Extreme Community Makeover Newsletter  November Extreme Endeavors November 2014

In This Issue Fri Nov 14: Art is in the Air Company Partner: Baron Properties Church Partner: Denver Transit Partners October Volunteers Quick Links About ECM  Contact ECM           Donate  Help ECM build stronger communities in Denver through your financial support.     Checks can be made to:   Extreme Community Makeover    and sent to:    Extreme Community Makeover PO Box 102586 Denver, CO 80250-2586 This past weekend we wrapped up our schedule of Saturday Work Days happening every other weekend.  2014 was another record setting year of volunteer involvement with 3,705 people participating in ECM projects, allowing us to partner with 251 residents to complete a project at their home!  What strikes me most about these numbers is that each person can truly make a difference.  The generosity of each of you who have given your time to lend a helping hand during a Work Day project, multiplied times 3,705, means we are creating a culture of helping others and demonstrating that we are better when we work together.  So thanks for your role in making "being a good neighbor" a tangible reality in communities around Denver!   Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director  Volunteer Snapshots Volunteers signing in before starting their project for the day
