Press Release:
The Verdin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio
"Honoring our Past while Building our Future"
 |
The Verdin Company, Ohio's oldest family manufacturer, cast a church bell for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: After the Storm."
First Emmanuel Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana was a victim of Hurricane Katrina. With twelve hundred parishioners and a church school, the "Extreme Makeover" team chose the church as one of their recipients in the Gulf Coast to benefit from a community makeover.
The Verdin Company cast a 250 pound cast bronze church bell with a special custom inscription as a gift to the church.
For more than six generations, the Verdin family has combined superior craftsmanship with innovative technology while building bells and clocks. These bells and clocks can be seen and heard in churches, communities, colleges and universities, and businesses throughout the world.
We are proud to have one of our bells installed at First Emmanuel Baptist Church and to be part of the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast!
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: After the Storm" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA. The series is executive-produced by Tom Forman. The show airs Sundays (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Special air date: Thursday, April 6, 2006 (8-9)

Verdin bell gets cameo on TV
BY LUANN GIBBS | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Verdin Co., one of Ohio's oldest family manufacturers, will appear in an edition of ABC-TV's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: After The Storm," which highlights the community makeover of the First Emmanuel Baptist Church in New Orleans.
The company cast and donated the new 250-pound bronze bell for the church, which was destroyed last year in Hurricane Katrina.
The company has cast bells for several churches along the Gulf Coast, including St. Patrick's, St. Louis Cathedral and Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans. It also has cast bells for Xavier University of New Orleans, St. Francis Xavier in Metairie, St. Catherine of Sienna in Metairie and Nativity of Our Lord in Kenner, La.
The show will air Thursday from 8-9 p.m. on WCPO-TV (Channel 9).
