Construction Update
I have been assured the big parking lot will open next week. They might block off the front parking lot this weekend in preparation for that. The lights will be turned off on Monday. I had to move some of the appliances around in some of the areas today to ensure Tech Ops had access to enough plug-ins for the supplemental lights. Please don’t move any appliances around or unplug any extension cords, we’ll go back to standard ops when this project is over in about a month.
Member in Need
Most people are aware of the Voluntary Leave Donation Program, it is intended to supplement someone’s leave balance when they have had to deplete it due to family or personal circumstances. We have someone in the facility who could use your help, Anthony Greer, a trainee in the A area has been approved to be on this program. He gave me permission to share his story:
"My mother, who has multiple sclerosis and lupus, was recently diagnosed with congenital heart disease after experiencing a shortness of breath and symptoms of pneumonia. She lives in Arkansas, and was hospitalized in the middle of moving apartments. I took time off to help her move from Little Rock to Fayetteville, AR, and to take her to doctor’s appointments and help monitor her medication over the course of a couple months. I exhausted all my accrued annual and sick leave in the process. “
Thanks for reading Anthony’s story. Please consider donating any leave you can by accessing the link below behind an FAA firewall.
All leave donations must be made from an FAA computer https://ahrweb.faa.gov/ovltp/.
