Extreme Makeover: YWCA Edition

in Community, YMCA

I was a fan of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition years ago when it first aired its heart-warming episodes.  I’ve since lost my enthusiasm for the show, but definitely not the philanthropic concept.  Plus, I’m a sucker for ”before-and-after” tales of transformation!  Probably one of the reasons I was so excited to help in a local [...]

Defining Fun at DAXKO

by Katie C08.23.2010

Fun. It’s a word that gets tossed around a lot at DAXKO–and infused into everything we do. From monthly meetings to family lunches, we’re all about some fun.

This year’s upcoming DAXKO Reach conference will be lucky-number seven. Fitting, because we’re pretty excited about what the three-day event—packed full of networking, learning, and pure fun—will hold for DAXKO customers and fanatics alike.

Meet Matt D.  [...]

The first few days of a new job can be nerve-wracking.
