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. Both Slater and her husband are active members of their church and community. Due to Sharon’s recent knee surgery, the Slaters are physically and financially unable to complete the needed renovations. With the support of EDM sponsors, including Home Depot (Behr & Glidden), Premium Waters, Sherwin-Williams, Lowe's (Valspar), Bergman Nurseries, Hoewing Trucking, Ayerco, Casey's, and numerous C-SC faculty and staff as well as community members, painting, residing and landscape work will be completed at the homes of each EDM recipient. 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 EDM concept was developed and launched in 2010 by the college as a way to make a greater contribution and impact on the Canton and college communities. Guided by our motto “Do Something that Makes a Difference,” the EDM team along with city officials, local churches, area businesses and community members built a force of more than 400 volunteers and invested about $150K in labor and material into the Canton community. Members of the media are invited to attend Extreme Dome Makeover, for additional information please contact event organizer Jay Hoffman at (319) 551-9801.
