"To see kids from 2 to 72 squealing with delight does a heart good. My grandson especially enjoyed the power tool symphony in the sensory village. My only regret is that I didn't take more pictures. I intended to, but was so caught up on watching everyone have a good time that I forgot to pull out the camera."

This Saturday, January 14th, we’ll all find out who the lucky family is that will receive the final makeover from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. A number of greater San Antonio families have been under consideration to be the recipients of the last EM:HE makeover and what makes this project especially compelling is that each of these families has a member who is a wounded warrior.
From the moment Ty Pennington, Michael Molony, Paige Hemmis, Ed Sanders, Xzibit and the rest of the EM:HE crew surprise the family with the news they’ve been chosen, the project will explode in to high-gear. The construction side of the San Antonio build gets in to full swing on Sunday when the existing structure is cleared to make way for the new home and for the next 106 hours an army of over 2,000 skilled and unskilled volunteers will build a dream home for a very deserving family.
Come out and watch as the house goes up. The following is a tentative schedule of the construction:
Saturday – the door knock to notify the family.
Sunday – demo of existing structure, set-up for new foundation.
Monday – pour slab, walls go up.
Tuesday – various installs.
Wednesday – exterior finishing.
Thursday – driveway flatwork and landscaping.
Friday – landscaping continues and furniture move-in.
Saturday – “Move That Bus!” day
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has been changing lives in front of millions of viewers for the last nine years and this San Antonio build will be the last episode filmed. So come be a part of something really special, the end of an era. Lets let the world see San Antonio’s heart, come show your support for the family and for the crew of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
The episode will air later this year as a two-hour special on ABC.

About 35 I CAN! Dancers and their families from all over Central Arkansas, will be featured performers at Morgan’s Wonderland (www.morganswonderland.com) in San Antonio, TX at 10:30 a.m. on Sat., July 2 .
The free dance class for children with disabilities began in 2004 when Katie Mayberry, then age three and born with spina bifida, asked her mom if she could take a dance class like her big sister, Ellie. The non-profit organization, www.communityconnectionsar.org, sponsors six dance classes in Central Arkasas, and likely will have a dozen classes in the fall including one in Abilene, TX.
The class includes children with Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Epilepsy and other disabilities. The children who need one on one help are assisted by a “Dancing Buddy,” typically developing children who just have a big heart and want to help these children experience the art of dance and performance.
“It is not about the diffuculty of the routine, or the precision of the dance steps. It is about the hope these children inspire in others,” said Julie Mayberry, founder of I CAN! Dance.
In the past, the I CAN! Dance class has made other trips to perform at Disney World, a national dance competition in Panama City, the Dallas Theological Seminary, and to audition for NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
“These trips are about so much more than just a vacation,” said Julie Mayberry, I CAN! Dance founder. “Many families of children with special needs shy away from taking a vacation because of the stress related to it and the availability of it. This takes those worries away by providing a revenue source and since we travel as a group, the families feel more comfortable taking their special needs child. It is very healthy for the families to get away from the everyday stresses. The families bond and support one another during the travels.”
