Coffee Memorial Help Needed Please
Good morning. We could really use some help with the local blood supply. As of this morning, our O-‘s are desperately low and O+ and A- are not stable. Can you please share the word and ask your friends and family to please come donate? Either at our center at 7500 Wallace Blvd. or a mobile drive.
We are also doing a 10K Vacay giveaway for all donors that donate between today and September 7th and all donors stand a chance to win that amazing package. This Saturday we also have an awesome fun blood drive called GameDay at Coffee Memorial from 11am to 4pm. There will be tons of Dallas Cowboy prizes, BUT one donor will win a Dallas Cowboys package valued at $2,250!!!!
We appreciate you all so much for helping us in our lifesaving mission.

August 25 | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM CDT | 1.5 CLPs – Offense for DoD Contracts: Cyber Incident Reporting
Cyber criminals have made preparation for a “cyber incident” a prudent step for contractors. Every DoD Supplier/Contractor has contractual requirements to report cyber incidents back to the DoD. Let’s go over those requirements and how they impact the contracting team and it’s IPT. We will walk through preparation, scenarios and the reports, as well as what to expect after a cyber incident and the many DoD services created to aid in these moments of need. Have this information ready and be able to navigate a cyber incident by a DoD supplier.

Govology: Leveraging the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to win Government Contracts
August 26 | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM CDT | ONLINE | No cost with code
Want to get a real edge in the federal marketplace? This webinar will show you how to use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as a powerful tool to uncover what agencies really want—and how your competitors are performing. You’ll learn how to request and interpret key documents like CPARS reports and winning proposals, then use that intel to craft responses that speak directly to an agency’s needs (even the ones they don’t spell out).
