We made it through our year long journey of recounting highlights of Extreme Community Makeover over the past 10 years! What a journey filled with twists and turns and unexpected surprises, but I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this story and for each chapter along the way. Thank you for being one of the threads that weaves our community together, in just the way that each person can uniquely contribute to being good neighbors and spreading more kindness and goodness into our world. Let's continue on this journey together!Sincerely,Angela Bomgaars
