Happy Valentine's Day

We've had a busy 4 days starting with an awesome Pep Rally. We had cheerleaders, and a drum line to warm up the crowd. Bob even got up and had a very nice presentation about how and why he's involved. He also took the time to thank some of the key organizations & people who are a part of this project:

Mike Drumright, Randy Stovall, Mike Igo, David Shandy, Marlo Porter, Derek Lofgreen, Fenix Heating & Air, Fisher Lumber, Ruud Concrete, & Logix Insulated Concrete Forms, Adventure RV's, Il Primo Espresso Café, Wichita Area Builder's Association, Star Lumber, Kansas Lighting, and the Wichita Better Business Bureau. Additionally, Bob singled out these individuals for their contribution of time and talent thus far: Teajai Kimsey (Internet Idea Girl), Mike Mapes (David Hall Roofing), Kristen Ward (Farmer's Insurance), Darcie Oursler (AutoMasters), Shirley Harrold-Albright (Armstrong|Shank), Liz Willis-Henry, Tom Middlestadt, Cyndi, Christine & Marla (from Bob's office).

Then the Extreme Makeover crew was introduced to the city and Milan Vasic (Senior Producer) gave the history of the show. Not a dry eye in the house after Milan spoke.

Right from the Pep rally we were manning our booth at the Home Show through the weekend! It sure was busy there and the positive feedback from people visiting our booth was really nice to hear.

I also spent some time at the Extreme Makeover Booth at the show. We sold T-Shirts and signed up volunteers. And I have to say - We L O V E our volunteers & sponsors. If you haven't seen the growing list, please visit the resource page of our WichitaExtreme.com website. More are added daily.

This is a great week to show a family how much the community really does care. Coming on the heels of Valentine's day -- what better way to celebrate than to build a home!

Hope you will all come out and watch, looks like the weather will be cooperating.
