If you haven't been following my blog in the last week, I have been bursting at the seams to be able to share the secret happenings behind the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and its scheduled project for my neck of the woods.

What I can share with you today is that:

• My real estate board, the Eastern Connecticut Association of Realtors® (ECAR), is donating $10,000 to this 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' project.  I am so pleased about this generous donation that my board is making.  Just knowing that I have paid my board dues and a portion of it will be going to a very worthy cause for a family who really deserves this money, makes me very, very happy.
• My friend Mark Provost, owner of MRP Plumbing will be a volunteer working on the completion of the plumbing on the project.
• My friend Ron Spicer,  owner of Spicer Sheetmetal & Contracting will be a volunteer working on the completion of the heating/cooling systems & duct work on the project. 
• My husband Rob Pellegrini, who is the branch manager of The Granite Group - a plumbing and heating supply company - has been coordinating the donated products and supplies for the heating system for this project.  Rob will also be a volunteer, assisting with the installation of the plumbing and heating systems of the project.
• I was just contacted TODAY and it was confirmed that I will be one of the volunteers working at the site on Sunday, December 7th.

The announcement of the deserving family who will be benefiting from this project is going to be next Thursday, December 4th. A tremendously large volunteer crew will be working from Friday, December 5th through Thursday, December 11th - NON STOP... 24 hours a day... To complete this home.  This means in all weather conditions... And it has been very cold here in Eastern CT.

The 'MOVE THAT BUS' reveal is planned for December 11th, if everything stays on schedule!
