Greetings! | |
Summer is here and things are off to a great start! May was one of the busiest months ever for ECM with many groups and hundreds of volunteers participating and making a difference in Denver neighborhoods "one block at a time!" The start of summer also means that we will have ECM groups every Tuesday and Thursday starting the first week of June until the first week of August. So there are even more opportunities to get involved in ECM this summer.
We also want to let you know how to stay more connected with ECM through the links to the left. And we'll fill you in on some of the exciting things happening in the neighborhoods where ECM works. Keep reading to find out more. |

| Send Out Cards | |
Do you like sending cards? Is your business looking for a personalized way to stay in touch with your clients? If you haven't heard of Send Out Cards, this tool would be great for you to learn more about and consider using.
Send Out Cards utilizes the convenience of an online system where you can choose from thousands of cards and templates. You can even customize the cards with your own handwriting font and pictures, upload your contacts, and keep track of birthdays and anniversaries so you never forget important dates again. The best part is that Send Out Cards prints and mails the cards for you after you design the card on your computer.
You may be wondering how Send Out Cards (SOC) ties into ECM. ECM is using SOC to maintain more personalized communication with our volunteers. We are also utilizing SOC as a way to bring in funds. Since Send Out Cards is a network marketing business, you have the opportunity to build this as a business for yourself or your company. If you sign up under ECM, you will help support ECM financially as well. Click on the logo above and you can send a free card to see what you think of Send Out Cards and if it might be a good fit for you! If you would like to talk further, please contact Angela. |

| Service Award | |
Congratulations to Colorado Christian University for being recognized by the NCAA and receiving the community engagement award after their student-athletes got involved in ECM last August! |
| Thank You to May Volunteers | |
Thank you to all the groups who volunteered with ECM during the month of May:
God's Grace Community Church, GH Phipps Construction, Centennial Covenant Church, Boettcher Foundation, K-Love, DU Cru, Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning, Coldwell Banker, BuCu West, Denver Jaycees, Potter's House Church of Denver, Junk Chics, and Bethany Lutheran Church!
These groups included almost 500 people who adopted 41 blocks and worked with 78 families in the Barnum and Westwood neighborhoods. These groups also picked up trash around a park, beautified two bus stops, cleaned alleys, and removed graffiti. Thanks for getting involved to make May the most impactful month of ECM to date! |
