Subject: RE: ABC's hit reality show Extreme Makeover Home Edition is looki ng for API's

Hello API Community: Who knows a deserving family that needs a newly built home in
7 days from the API community? Help spread the word!

****PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY****

Hi All,

ABC's hit reality show Extreme Makeover Home Edition is looking for API's to be a
part of their program. This is part of their effort to include more people of color
in their programming. Below are a few guidelines for consideration.

Please support their efforts by forwarding this message to clients, friends and
aquaintances. Remember, you can nominate families who you think are deserving of
this wonderful opportunity.

Please note the deadline date for submissions, and please send your
nominations/applications directly to CHARISSE SIMONIAN, Family Casting Director at
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (address below) so she can review the applications
personally (as opposed to the general p.o. box on the application).

ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

*We are currently casting families in the Southeast / South and Southwest
for Winter shoots. All others are still welcome to apply, however if they're
on the East coast we can't consider them until Spring of 2006.

* Families must OWN their home. The home should not be larger than 2,000 Sq.
Feet and MUST be a single family residence (no townhomes, condos or
apartments)
* Families must have a clean criminal history and pass an extensive
background check
* Families should have children (School age) still living at home
* Families should be outgoing, emotional and yet humble and extremely
likeable.
* Families should speak Fluent English
* They should be in a situation where, by changing their house in some way,
we can help that situation. Their story should be compelling & moving.
* Currently we ARE NOT looking for the following stories relating to:
Adoption, Wheelchair accessibility, Cancer, death of or dying parent, Armed
Services, hearing impaired or visually impaired
* They should be 'deserving" - i.e. help out the community, their neighbors
or hold jobs such as police, fire, teachers, nurses, medics, do voulnteer
work, non-profit, etc. (not all memebers but one at least!)
* Families houses should LOOK like they need repair!
* And, finally families should live on an accessible street, no hills, no
cul-de-sacs

To download an application for the show, go to this link:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/casting.html

Applications should be sent DIRECTLY to me at the below address, NOT the PO
Box on the application. This way I can personally review each application.
If the family is in the Southeast or Texas, we will need applications in no
later than Sept. 15th! If they're in California, October 1st.
But, the sooner the better!
