>Hi Marion and David,
>
>David, I just finished speaking with Marion about our nationwide
>search for families in need, that are deserving of an Extreme
>Makeover.  He mentioned that you could possibly help me spread the
>word, by forwarding on my information and flier to as many contacts
>as you see fit.
>
>My name is Lindsay Spaulding, and I’m a Casting Producer for ABC’s
>Emmy award winning TV series  "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." We
>are in the process of finding families who are deserving and in need
>of a new home for our next season of the show, and we want to move
>that bus!
>
>We are looking for inspirational families that America can really
>root for.  Because you are so plugged into the community, you might
>be able to help us reach those local heroes who need our help, or
>others in the community who can bring those families to our
>attention.  It would be great if you could post a bulletin on your
>website, or include our information in your newsletter, and forward
>this information on to anyone you see fit.
>
>We're looking for inspirational members of the community who, for
>whatever reason, need a new home.  While we know that there are so
>many families in need all over this country, we want to focus on
>people that have given back in some way despite their personal
>hardships.  Some examples from past episodes include The Bliven
>family of Minot, ND who started a little league baseball program for
>children with special needs.  And in Indiana, Shawna Farina heads up
>the local Relay For Life cancer walk for life in honor of her
>mother's struggle with the disease and, in an ironic twist of fate,
>now battles breast cancer herself.  Some of our episodes have focused
>on people who have been inspirational within their own family.  Amy
>Hawkins of Hendersonville, TN was left paralyzed after she threw her
>body over her 2 sons as a tornado ripped apart their home. As you can
>see, our definition of deserving can be fairly broad.
>
>Attached, is our show flyer, which details what we are looking for
>and how people can submit their materials to us.  Any assistance you
>can offer in getting the word out to volunteer, service, and
>community-building organizations would be deeply appreciated.  All
>nominations should be sent to ExtremeMakeoverHomeEdition at gmail.com
>
>To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home or at
>least property on which a home can be built.  Plus, they must be able
>to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their
>lives.  Nominations must include the names and ages of each member of
>the household along with a description of the major challenges within
>the home.  Please also include contact information of the family.  If
>possible, we would also love to see pictures of the family and their
>home.
>
>The deadline for family nominations is May 1st, 2010.  But, the
>sooner we find some deserving families, the better!
>
>Thanks again! And please feel free to contact me directly with any
>questions.
