Did you know that 51 families slip into homelessness each week in Maricopa County?

By -
Fortunately, there is a place for homeless families to go where they can get the safe shelter, supportive services, and affordable housing they need to reach their greatest potential. That place is UMOM New Day Centers. UMOM provides a continuum of care for families, giving them the tools and support they need to get back on their feet.




This year CFMA pledged to help UMOM by participating in their 7th Annual Walk for Homeless Families. The walk was a fun and inspirational way to raise awareness about family homelessness and raise critical funds for UMOM.





A number of VoS members showed up to a walk or made financial contributions to help UMOM. The Team goal was $1,500 -VOS committed to matching those member donations up to $1,500. At the end of the day, the Team raised $3,665! If you would still like to make a contribution, click here:

 Take a look at the fun the VoS Members had and who they ran into!

The contractor, Kiewit-Turner, blames the VA for ignoring agreements to submit plans that can be built within budget and has asked a federal board overseeing civilian contract disputes to let the company walk away from the job. Problems with the building emerged in January, when letters between the builder and the VA revealed the project to be running some $200 million over budget, with Kiewit-Turner blaming a pricey design that was only partially completed by the time it entered into the contract. The two sides subsequently agreed — via a handwritten agreement — to build the hospital within the original budget, with the VA in charge of submitting a new, pared-down design reflecting a number of cost-saving measures. But in a July 8 complaint to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, ...

                 HAPPY EIGHT TRACK TAPE DAY!!   When : Always April 11th   Eight Track Tape Day brings back fond memories of the sixties and seventies. During this era, eight track tapes ruled the music world. America's love of the automobile, was a driving force in creating the demand for musical cassette formats. For those who grew up in this era, an eight track tape player in your home and your car was an essential. It was eventually replaced by cassette and other formats for storing music. Eight Track Tape Day is a day to bring back fond memories of the sixties and seventies. If you still have tapes and a player, by all means enjoy the day listening to some great music.
