\nB. Combined Federal Campaign: After being in the CFC for 20 years, a denial of the Crew\u2019s 2015 application was
\nreceived on 4 May 15, due to the lack of providing local services. The Secretary submitted a rebuttal on 7 May 15,
\nemphasizing that the Crew offers a local opportunity to help the less fortunate with housing but this idea was again
\nrejected in a CFC letter, received on 11 May 15. Alternatives include: (1) Submitting an appeal to the U.S. Office
\nof Personnel Management, which must be received by 25 May 15. (2) Forgetting the CFC, since initial donations
\nare significantly reduced by overhead and shrinkage cuts and the annual Crew\u2019s annual phone bill of $600+ for
\nmaintaining a CFC required voice mailbox. Vice-President Marcel Moreau volunteered to draft a letter to be sent
\nto past CFC donors this fall explaining why the Crew is not in the 2015 CFC Drive and the benefits of donating
