Eight area volunteer teams were paired with eight United Way partner agencies. The agencies submitted a "wish list" of areas in their agencies that needed a makeover. Extra funds to remodel an office or even funds to make needed repairs are often not available. The volunteer teams worked to remedy that situation. Projects were completed and awards presented at the Extreme Makeover Awards Breakfast on October 8th. Click here for complete information on the projects. A big thanks to the volunteer teams and their work for the community!
