 CCA
Metro Denver Golf Outing Under the Big
Tent!
The CCA Associate Council would like
to say thank you to all of the participants,
volunteers, sponsors and Trailblazers for
a packed lineup at The Pinery Golf
Outing! We had a great turn-out of over 150 players. The day
was a mix bag of rain, cool breezes but then wrapped up with
sunshine and refreshing beverages to beat the heat!
Wahoo to all players who
purchased Mulligans. We raised $1900 for the CSU Heavy
Civil Team. Thank you to all the players who willingly lost
money at the Betting Hole to Terry Kish Real Men Eat Kish the
Enforcer. Your loss is our win and all the proceeds,
$810, go to the Construction Workforce Foundation
of Colorado for scholarships and education of our future industry
professionals.
Thank you Mr. Gary Spaw of Johnson Auto Plaza
for driving our additional beer cart around for our many thirsty
members. The free cart was courtesy of the Associate Council and
Associate Members!

Campaign To Kill Amendments 60 & 61 and
Proposition 101 Meets to Set Strategy
Coloradans for
Responsible Reform, the broad campaign coalition which includes CCA
as a major contributor, met this week to continue exploring the best
ways to educate the public on the devastating effects of Amendments
60 & 61 and Proposition 101 should they be approved by voters in
November.
The three initiatives would
completely devastate transportation, education and health care in
the state of Colorado and cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of
jobs. Click here to visit the website and be sure to share it
with everyone you know: http://www.donthurtcolorado.com/news/.
In the coming months, the campaign will be producing handouts and
payroll stuffers explaining the impacts of the three measures.
It will also be running a multi-million dollar advertising campaign.
Vote
NO on Amendments 60 & 61 and Proposition 101!

A Key to Staying Safe
While Working in the Heat: Acclimatization
One of the best defenses against
heat-related illnesses and fatalities is allowing employees to
acclimate to the heat. Letting workers adjust to changes in
weather by gradually increasing their exposure and physical activity
will likely reduces the risk of heat-related issues.
This weeks Safety Resource Section is a safety talk in
