Hi Everyone!  I was just contacted by my friend & President of Capstone General Contracting, Christine Najem to help recruit a team for a very special opportunity!  We have the chance to be a part of ABC's Extreme Home Makeover coming to Springfield next weekend!  Below is the list of supplies and volunteers needed given to me from Christine.  Please email me at BestOptionTeam@Gmail.com or call my cell at 508-444-2673 if you can help donate time or items on our list.  You are very much appreciated!  

Extreme Makeover is here to give a family in Springfield in need a brand new home and we have been asked to help make this possible.  We have 106 hours to build a 4200 sq. ft home!  Needless to say, they need all the help they can get.  So, in an effort to do our part, we are asking all our friends, family, employees and subcontractors with contracting skills to volunteer some of their time.  I know everyone is very busy; however, this is a very worthy cause and an exciting project for Capstone as well as our Massachusetts community!    
 
With all that being said, I would love it if you would consider joining with us in this exciting adventure to help a worthy family.  I apologize for the short notice but our office was contacted this past Monday and I recently confirmed everything with the project management team for the EMHE show.  They have a list of needs (labor and materials) so if you are interested, please let me know. Time is of the essence so please let me know as soon as possible.
 
Thank you for anything you may be willing to do to be a part of this awesome gift!  God Bless!!!!

Joan - Extreme Makeover does extraordinary thing for families and it's so great to watch something positive on TV instead of all the violence. Great reblog and I hope that Maine get all the supplies they need so they can build a home for a family in need!

Thanks for the comments ladies.  Sorry for my delayed response.  

Barbara~It's hard to believe that people in MA still don't have power.  And to think that CT and VT were hit much harder than we.  

Linda~I hope so too.  Time for a few more follow up emails. Unfortunately, I can't be there so this is what I can do.  

Kristine~You are so right about the scarcity of positive shows on TV.  That is exactly why it is one of our favorite shows.
