Help Hurricane Harvey Victims at this Week's Lunch!

By -

In wake of the destruction that Hurricane Harvey has caused I'm sure you've all asked yourselves "how can I help?".      
 
The Valley of the Sun chapter has adopted a family in Humble, TX, which happens to be the cousin of long time VoS member and past president, Lisa Autino.  Their house was severely damaged and they lost the majority of their belongings.  We are asking for your support to help this family rebuild their lives.  
 
We will be taking donations through the month of September.  We are looking for cash, check or gift card donations.  (Gift cards for Lowes, Kohl's, or Visa/MasterCard.)  
 
There are three ways you can donate:
  1. Bring your donation to the next Luncheon on Thursday September 21st
  2. Online: Click on the following link:  paypal.me/cfmavos 
  3. Mail gift cards and/or checks payable to CFMA VoS:

             PO Box 4130
             Scottsdale, AZ 85261
             Attention:  Stephanie Weadock
(If mailing checks or gift cards please email Lisa Sullivan lsullivan@mccarthy.com  and Lynne Pace lynne@kinkaidcivil.com so we will know that they are on the way.)   
   
  
If you'd like to drop off donations, Lisa and Lynne would be happy to take them at their offices as well.  Please contact them to coordinate this.  
 
We know that there are many in need with Harvey, Irma and other natural disasters, and while we can't help everyone, we thought this opportunity to make a focused effort to help a specific family was our best option to help. 
 
We appreciate the support to help this family get back on their feet.
 
Direct questions to your Chapter President, Michelle Walker.

A long-planned Veterans Affairs hospital being built in Denver, already hundreds of millions of dollars over its $604 million budget, has turned into a billion-dollar boondoggle for the agency. 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, ...
