Heroes Launch Website On Time

August 4, 2011 One FxD Productions produced a website launch video to play before EWB-CPPs improved website went live. The story line consisted of Esteban and Chase, our President and Vice President, on mission to improve EWB-CPPs website. As they got near completion they sought help from the Sunmaster. The Sunmaster was impressed by the website but felt something was missing. They were told the website would be complete when they captured the CLA buildings light. They were giving armor and sent on their way. After a long trip and a violent battle with the guards our two heroes captured the CLA buildings light completing the website. You can watch the video on YouTube by clicking here. To view the improved website click here. The website is constantly updated with news, upcoming events, and current projects.

Officers Become Acquainted

August 19, 2011 The EWB-CPP officers attended a retreat to become more acquainted. The theme throughout the weekend was trust. None of the officers, except Esteban, knew the retreats location. The officers had to trust their leader. Trust he knew where he was going. Trust it was a safe location. Esteban took the officers to his familys ranch in Lockwood California.

Be the Change

During the retreat the officers got to know one another at a more personal level. Each had a chance to describe why they became an engineer, their goals to improve EWB, and explore their weakness. This was done to benefit the EWB-CPP members. Trust and communication are key to successfully run an organization. Now that the officers are well acquainted they can concentrate in serving the organization's members, working on projects, and fundraising.
