January Extreme Endeavors: A New Year with New Possibilities

A new year filled with new possibilities! I am eagerly looking forward to what this year holds for Extreme Community Makeover as there are exciting opportunities ahead, which I will share as they unfold. Until then, one of my goals for this year is that we can build a neighbor to neighbor movement that begins on the Work Days and extends beyond the projects as connections are made and relationships formed. I would love to connect with you sometime to hear about any ideas you have to participate in reaching that goal or to see how you would like to be involved in ECM. You can show up at any of the upcoming events mentioned in this message or give me a call and we can talk more. Looking forward to a great year! Sincerely,Angela Bomgaars 2017 : Work Day Dates I am working on confirming the neighborhoods and locations for this year's Saturday Work Days, but here are the dates so you can start planning ahead for the year: April 8 & 22; May 6 & 20; June 3 & 17; July 1, 15, & 29: August 12 & 26; September 9 & 23; October 7 & 21 Jan 12 : Board of Directors Open House Have you ever thought about being involved in an organization through serving on the board?
