Friday, February 10, 2012

CANTON, Mo. -- Culver-Stockton College is pleased to announce Extreme Dome Makeover (EDM) 3 is scheduled for August 18, 2012. Once again, the college will collaborate with the Canton community to complete exterior makeovers for city projects and residents’ homes. The emphasis of the EDM is to recognize deserving members of the community who have demonstrated qualities of good faith and human spirit despite personal limitations or hardships. The college encourages members of the surrounding community to nominate, donate and participate in this transformative community service event.

Nomination forms can be picked up at Canton City Hall, participating churches, and online at www.culver.edu/dome. Nominations for sponsored projects (labor and materials) will be accepted through March 1 or until qualifying homes are identified. Nominations for labor-only projects (materials not included) will be accepted through March 31. Community members are encouraged to participate by helping other community members with work around their exterior home and yard.

Additional volunteers and donated supplies are also welcome. Building materials, supplies, refreshments and food for our volunteers are greatly needed. All donations can be made through the C-SC Advancement Office c/o Extreme Dome Makeover or at participating churches. Volunteer or sponsorship inquiries can be e-mailed to Dr. Jay Hoffman at jhoffman@culver.edu.

The EDM concept was developed and launched in 2010 by the college as a way to make a greater contribution and impact on the Canton and college communities. Guided by our motto “Do Something that Makes a Difference,” the EDM team along with city officials, local churches, area businesses and community members built a force of more than 400 volunteers and invested about $150K in labor and material into the Canton community. This year we hope to accomplish even more!

The 2011 Extreme Dome Makeover recipients include, Bobby and Connie Brundza, Kim and Sharon Lambert, Dan and Carla Steinbeck, and Sharon Slater.
