Needed: Southwest Airlines Sky Miles & Embassy Suites Or Courtyard Marriott 2-Night Hotel Stay
For our
2016 Playhouse Project, we'd like to get
Cash Owens as a special guest auctioneer. You may know this talented and fast-talking 11-year old having seen him on Steve Harvey and Ellen DeGeneres's "
Little Big Shots" or read about him the
USA Today article published just last year.
To say the least, this kid's got talent! The only thing is that we've got to get him and his parent's here from their Blue Earth Stockyard (where the family auctions off cattle on Fridays) in Minnesota and put him up for the weekend during the visit. While this is no small feat, we think you can help!
If you've got Southwest Airline Miles or points at either the Embassy Suites or Courtyard Marriott, please contact Carol Shoemaker at
cshoemaker@rebuildingtogethermc.org 301-947-9400 x107 to gift those to RTMC for this special project. No balance is too small and every donation helps.

What's Happening at RTMC
April 18 RTMC Conducts Tobytown Homeowner Outreach: RTMC, in partnership with the Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) conducted outreach at a resident-only Community Fair for the Tobytown neighborhood in Potomac to assist residents in accessing homeowner services. Tobytown is one of about 30 "kinship communities" in Montgomery County, which were settled by freed slaves in the 19th century. The community was extensively renewed in the early 1970's, and continues to maintain it's familial roots.
April 20-22 Staff Re-tool at the CNA Conference: Key RTMC team members attended the Center for Nonprofit Advancement's National Nonprofit Leadership Conference. This was the first conference of its kind, offering staff exciting opportunities to network, share, and collaborate with and professionals who are working to improve outcomes for non-profits throughout the country.

RTMC 25th Anniversary Video |
Our First 25 Years Successful
At the event, attendees were reminded that when we volunteer with RTMC, we encourage others to volunteer; when we invest money to the organization, we multiply our money with RTMC's ability to leverage our investment; when we help a client, we rebuild our community...one home at a time.
Many thanks to all of the event sponsors, event attendees, volunteers, donors and partner organizations who have enabled our work for the last 25 years. Read about our celebration.
