Looking Back and Looking Forward

The last couple of years have presented some great challenges for those in the design and construction industry. We have learned this firsthand from many of our volunteers who have been working diligently on CDRC projects. All of these volunteers provided preliminary design assistance to clients who came to us seeking help in building their dreams. Even with some great designs in hand though, some still faced difficulty finding the funds they needed to build their projects.

Bright Forecast

In spite of doomsday headlines and dismal statistics, volunteers have continued to work overtime helping Boston area clients envision a different future. As a result, work has started picking up; clients are beginning to attract potential donors; some volunteers have received paid work out of it; and best of all, our community is beginning to feel the impact.

Let's keep the momentum going!

Please help us to expand our work by making a tax deductible donation today so that we can make an even greater impact in our shared Boston community, while opening up opportunities for those in the design and building profession.

Please visit our website to learn more about some of the kinds of dreams your contributions can help make happen.

Thank you in advance for your generous contribution. We wish you a happy holiday season and a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Regards,

Karen Spence
Director

Mary Ann Williams
Board President on behalf of the entire Board of Directors
