meeting update

we had a room to read meeting last night at kathy's and i wasn't too jazzed on going, mostly because the last meeting ended up being just kathy, polly and i. not that i mind seeing them and talking to them etc it's just that sometimes it's nice to stay home if you can! but we ended up having 3 new people at the meeting so it was well worth it. and everyone kept telling me how cute my hair was so clearly that was worth a night away from home. ha.
we have a meeting on august 28th with an old friend of john wood's who's agreed to host a fundraiser in his giant home on november 11th. i don't really have any purpose at the meeting other than i asked them if i could come as a learning/networking experience and they are going to let me! it's fun to be part of this process and learn new things.

Volunteer opportunity...

Hello Rebuilding Volunteers,

We are contacting you about another exciting opportunity to rebuild in your communities.

On Saturday, October 4th RTMD is holding our Fall Rebuilding Day and will rehabilitate up to 20 homes in that one day.

We need numerous (over 100) volunteers to join teams of approximately 25 who will complete a home in one day.

To register access your volunteer application through out website www.rebuildingdenver.org and update this by choosing “Assign me a Team” under the project drop down bar.

By early September I will be in contact to confirm your commitment and assign you to a team.

Due to our sponsorship model we are not able to assign coworkers to the same team as a group! Our apologies and for the year to come we are developing new opportunities that broaden our range of engagement.

We hope you will continue to join us on the path of helping low-income homeowners! If not this time, sometime in the future!

Best regards,

“Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one’s ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.”
