Earlier this year, torrential rains and severe flooding in southeastern Louisiana meant CFMA members local to that area desperately needed our help; some lost everything. VoS CFMA made a donation that we hoped would help one of our fellow members. We have heard from that member and I would like to share this with you:

As we continue to rebuild our home and lives after the flood I cannot even begin to explain or put in to words how grateful and completely overwhelmed with all of the support we have received following the flood.  It is amazing to sit back and grasp just how generous individuals, from all over, have been to my family in these past three months. 

Your donations have helped us out tremendously with putting our lives back together and move forward.  This experience has shown me how lucky of an individual I am to be part of such a great and thoughtful organization.  It really is hard to try and grasp how people from all over have taken time out of their day to think about our circumstance and give out of the generosity of their hearts.

Again I cannot begin to put into words how thankful we are to receive such a generous gift.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Kyle Cook and Family


Our thoughts and prayers are with this family and all of Southeastern Louisiana as they continue to rebuild.

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. If not, just spend a few minutes looking back in time to when you loved your eight track tapes!   Did you know? Eight track tapes were created by the jet maker William Lear. Anybody have a matchbook?
