Thursday, July 21, 2011

CANTON, Mo. – Culver-Stockton College is excited to announce the 2011 Extreme Dome Makeover recipients. Four deserving Canton families were selected to receive free exterior home renovations including labor and materials during EDM, which is scheduled to take place Saturday, Aug. 20.

In February, members of the Canton community were asked to nominate deserving individuals who demonstrate qualities of good faith and human spirit despite personal limitations or hardships. After careful consideration, this year’s EDM recipients are Bobby and Connie Brundza, Kim and Sharon Lambert, Dan and Carla Steinbeck and Sharon Slater.

The Brundza were nominated for their dedication and service to the Canton community and the United Methodist Church, of which they are members. Bobby Brundza serves on the volunteer fire department and regularly works to maintain the United Methodist Church building. In addition, the Brundzas, regularly volunteer their time and contribute to church and community events, including the inaugural Extreme Dome Makeover held last year. The Brundza home, located on Fourth Street, will be repainted by EDM volunteers.

The Lamberts are known for their willingness to give both time and energy to their community and church. Both teach Sunday school and actively minister within the community. In addition, Sharon Lambert maintains the church’s website in her free time; while Kim Lambert frequently lends a helping hand to his neighbors and friends. Extreme Dome Makeover volunteers will complete landscaping work on the Lambert home.

Nominated for their ability to overcome personal and financial adversity, while maintaining a commitment to their community; the Steinbeck family home will also be renovated. Carla Steinbeck previously served as a Girl Scout leader and as a member of the Canton Public Library Board. Dan Steinbeck currently serves on the Lewis County Ambulance Board and the Canton Tourism Board; in addition, he has filled numerous leadership roles within the community. EDM volunteers will complete exterior paint work on the Steinbeck home, which is located on College Street.

Sharon Slater’s home, located on Hampton Lane, will be resided by volunteers. Slater is an active member of her church and community. Due to Sharon’s recent knee surgery, she is physically and financially unable to complete the needed renovations.

In addition to the four sponsored projects, volunteers will also complete a number of service projects throughout the community, including smaller home renovation work, clean-up and general maintenance at Martin Park, and waste removal and yard work.

The first-ever EDM, held in August 2010, boasted nearly 400 volunteers, including Culver-Stockton students, faculty, staff and Canton community members. Event organizer Jay Hoffman, C-SC assistant professor of athletic training, also invites members of the Canton community to take part in the day-long event. “Community members are encouraged to participate. This is a city-wide Extreme Dome Makeover Day, a collaborative effort between the college and city. We encourage them to get out in their yards and join in the spirit of the event. We especially want them to help a neighbor or friend who may need a little extra help around the exterior of the home,” explains Hoffman.
