Further, CFMC is moving for-ward with several in-depth analyses of our current opera-tions. A complete fiscal re-view will occur on July 2 look-ing at all direct and indirect expenditures of the past year, profitability and business ex-pansion efforts to assure we are solidly prepared for July 2012 to June 2013. Similarly, on July 11 a complete review of our QMS system will take place. August 8th, a complete review of how we use tech-nology will also occur. Our goal in working through these three important business ar-eas is to identify and confirm where our current ap-proaches are solid and bring-ing value, to identify those areas that need evaluation

New Babies: Laura Mankin and Erin Dormaier

P A G E 4 V O L U M E 2 , I S S U E 7

There seems to be some confusion on how the supplies are distrib-uted/stocked on the second floor. Scott will make sure that the cof-fee pots are cleaned and stocked with coffee, etc. We will also start ordering items in bulk for your floor, i.e., we will order a box of pa-per towels, tissues, forks, knives and spoons, coffee cups, sugar and creamers. We will put these supplies in the hallway closet outside the Alpine room. There will be a supply “replenish” list inside the closet door. As you are stocking your break area and notice that there are only a couple rolls of towels or other items left, please check off what items needs to be ordered and let Scott know so that we can quickly place another order for you. Hopefully this will help keep your area well stocked. When everyone helps out, its called Team Work!

The Mothers to be (both are due in

August) hanging out in the office be-

fore they take a few weeks break to

raise their little ones…

Laura Mankin is having a girl and

Erin will have the first boy from

CFMC since the last four pregnancies.

(Alicia, Cary, Yvonne, and Hilarea) We

wish both moms and families the

best...

“The Sun Likes

But I like Oneday -

That’s your

Birthday”

Staff Appreciation Day... On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the “land of the free and the home of the brave” so they can begin their American Dream. The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics and fam-

ily gatherings. Please join us on Tuesday, July 3rd, for a gathering with your family away from home/co-workers to kick off the holiday with a BBQ, music, games and plenty of surprises throughout the day! In the morning you will find muf-fins and fruit; for lunch we will have BBQ/teriyaki chicken, black bean tor-tilla pie for those who do not like the meaty side of things, baked beans, dessert, ice tea and lemonade. If you would like to bring a side dish or salad

it would be most appreciated! Come try your hand at a game of “holey board” or simply sit under the canopy and enjoy some music and visit. There will be a game or two throughout the day and possi-bly a few other surprises. Please wear your red, white and blue! We look forward to seeing you in the back forty of the parking lot on Tuesday!

Please join us in Congratulating Chris Van Fleteren for becoming certified as a “Certified Quality Improvement Associate” through the ASQ (American Society of Quality) Great job!

Proposal Development: by Linda Sample made to enhance CFMC’s proposal development process and supporting tools both at the training sessions as well as through the debrief meeting that was held to review proposal de-velopment/submission for four excit-ing potential business opportunities for CFMC. All recommendations and suggestions have been assigned to members of our proposal process optimization team which are a prior-ity for the month of July. In addition, we will be starting our monthly brown bag training series on July 31tst from 11:30 am to 12:30 am in the Alpine Room. This first training session will focus on how to use the new Proposal Development (PDW)/storyboard tool. A formal invitation will be forthcoming via Outlook.

The proposal development process optimization team held its’ second training session on June 12th. This training session focused on how to integrate the proposal development process, roles and responsibilities and the tools/templates supporting each step of the process. A follow-up sur-vey was send out on June 27th to all participants from the first and/or second training session(s) to solicit feedback and provide input on sug-gestions for subsequent training. We would greatly appreciate receiving your feedback by COB July 12th so we can continue to provide and enhance training to create value for those of you involved in responding to RFPs. Thank you for the great suggestions and recommendations many of you
