Team Tiara celebrates two milestones in 2015. First, this group of pavement pounders celebrates their 10th year participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Even more importantly, Team Tiara will cross the $1 million mark in fundraising.

“We are thrilled to celebrate 10 years of walking in the 3-Day and can’t wait to cross that $1 million mark,” says D’Lyn Biggs, Team Tiara Founder and Captain. “Our theme this year is Homecoming. Think of it as a 10-year family reunion. It’s going to be great.”

Biggs and her friend Lisa Harrelson walked their first 3-Day in 2006. “We had no idea we would accomplish this much in 10 years,” says Biggs. “And we have the Fairfield Community to thank for much of that.

“Fairfield supports Team Tiara on so many different levels. Many of our Team members live here, as well as the friends and family who make it possible for us to walk. The Fairfield Women’s Club and Charlotte Byrne have been incredibly supportive – we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Without the residents of Fairfield and the Fairfield Triathlon, we would not be able to fund the research and survivor support that are so vital right now.”

Team Members from Fairfield and beyond gather in Dallas each year to walk 60 miles in three days to fund breast cancer research. Each participant is required to raise a minimum of $2300 to walk. In 2014, Team Tiara raised over $63,000 and was recognized as a Top 5 team. Registration is ongoing for the 2015 walk, November 6-8.

The Team is proud to announce the 2014 Rachel B. Wickman Metastatic Breast Cancer Research Grant. This grant will give $15,000 to support metastatic breast cancer research being done by Dr. Priscilla Brastianos at Dana Farber Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. This grant follows the 2012 $25,000 grant presented to Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. The research grants are a result of Team Tiara’s 2012 commitment to independently fund $100,000 in metastatic breast cancer research. Metastatic breast cancer is an under-funded area of research where the Team can have a lasting impact. Team Tiara has raised over $7,000 for The Rose, Houston, Texas, to provide mammograms and breast health services to the uninsured and underinsured.

Team Tiara is proud to spread “Pink Fairy Dust” in the form of support for survivors. In 2014 the Team gave financial assistance to 16 different families who are in the thick of the fight against breast cancer. “We were able to financially stand in the gap and help fill a deficit created by lost wages, prescriptions, co-pays, etc. for those families,” Biggs says.

Team Tiara’s favorite achievement was working with the Fairfield Sports Association and the entire Fairfield community to build Hope Field, the first softball field in the country dedicated to breast cancer awareness.

Team Tiara continues to be an all-volunteer organization. Supporting Team Tiara is easy – with several options available. 1. Sponsor a Team Tiara walker or join the Team for 2015 at www.the3day.org/

goto/teamtiara2015. Registration is discounted $20 through April 6, 2015. 2. Donations to Team Tiara at www.teamtiara.net/donate. Donations in the form

of checks made out to Team Tiara can be mailed to: Team Tiara, D’Lyn Biggs, 129 Long Wood Avenue, Lakeway, Texas 78734.

If your business would like to support Team Tiara and the fight against breast cancer, please contact D’Lyn Biggs or any of Team Tiara’s team members.

All donations to Team Tiara and Susan G. Komen are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce that the Relay For Life of Cy-Fair has placed in the top 20 Relays in the southern territory in the fight against cancer, thanks to the amazing success of last year’s event. The 2014 Relay For Life of Cy-Fair brought in more than $138,700. and drew record participation of over 2,000 people! Total funds raised by Relay For Life-Cy-Fair is now approaching $1.25 million dollars in ten years!

“Congratulations to the many volunteers, committee members, and teams whose tireless efforts each and every year since 2005 have resulted such an accomplishment. The valued participation of cancer survivors and caregivers make the American Cancer Society Relay For Life unique and appealing to the entire community, most of whom have been touched by cancer in some way,” said Relay For Life of Cy-Fair Chair Sulema Tamez.

Relay For Life remains the American Cancer Society’s highest-grossing fundraising event in the fight against cancer. Monies raised support the American Cancer Society’s mission to help people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back through cancer research, as well as the free programs and services provided directly to cancer patients and their families.

The Relay For Life of Cy-Fair is seeking sign-ups for both business

and personal teams for the April 17-18, 2015 event. The event committee is also seeking volunteers, cancer survivors and caregivers to participate. If you are interested in signing up or learning more about how you can help the American Cancer Society finish the fight against cancer, please visit: www.relayforlife.org/cyfairtx.

About the American Cancer SocietyThe American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of more

than three million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society’s efforts have contributed to a 20 percent decline in cancer death rates in the U.S. since 1991, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks to our progress, nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. As we marked our 100th birthday in 2013, we’re determined to finish the fight against cancer. We’re finding cures as the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more. For more information, to get help, or to join the fight, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

NORTHWEST HARRIS COUNTY AGGIE MOM’S CLUBThe Northwest Harris County Aggie Mom’s Club will host Texas

A&M University’s Porter S. Garner, III ‘79, President of The Association of Former Students, on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 - 7:00 p.m. at the Houston Distributing Company, 7100 High Life Drive, conveniently located near Willowbrook Mall at the intersection of High Life Drive and Cutten Road.

President Porter was unanimously elected The Association’s seventh professional Executive Director in January 2000. After a Bylaws amendment in November 2008, his title was changed to President and CEO. In March of 2011, Porter celebrated 30 years of service to The Association, beginning with his role as Field Director where he logged countless miles and hours in assisting A&M Clubs across the state, nation and world. Years spent interacting with Aggies one on one across the Aggie Network and witnessing their devotion to Texas A&M and Texas Aggies shaped Porter’s vision for the organization, compelling him to create a culture built on a foundation of service and teamwork. Under his leadership, The Association has expanded its reach and relevance to the Aggie Network, raised the largest Annual Fund in the organization’s history and enhanced the look, feel, and capabilities of the

Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center, creating the premier alumni center. Porter earned a BBA in Marketing from Texas A&M in 1979 and served as President of the Student Aggie Club while in school.

REUSE

The Modern Game: “The Backhand Return Serve Drop Shot”

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

TENNISTIPS

Look in the next Newsletter for: “The Overhead from the Baseline”

In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to execute the basic strokes for players who are just beginning to play tennis or who want to resume playing.

I am now offering suggestions on how to play the “modern” game mostly geared towards players who are happy with hitting the ball over the net and controlling the point with consistency. These players may already be playing for leagues or in tournaments and are looking for more “weapons” on the court.

In this issue, I will offer instructions on how to execute “The Backhand Return Serve Drop Shot.” This shot is used when an opponent is expecting a deep service return and the player “surprises” the opponent with a short angle drop shot. It can be used in both singles and doubles play.

In the illustrations, Fernando Velasco, Director of Tennis and teacher at of the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Velasco is presently ranked #1 in Singles and Doubles in the USTA Men’s 70 Division in Texas,

and #13 in Singles and #8 and #10 in Doubles in the US. Step 1: The Back Swing: When Fernando sees the opportunity,

he makes a quick turn of his upper body and takes the racket high and back. The head of the racket is now at shoulder height, his shoulders are turned, and his eyes are focused on the incoming ball.

Step 2: The Point of Contact: The success of the drop shot is to “cup” under the ball with the strings. The grip is relaxed and ready to push the ball forward and under the ball as he makes contact with it. His left shoulder is almost opening and his weight is moving through the shot.

Step 3: The Follow Through: In order to get maximum underspin, Fernando is keeping the right hand extended as long as possible. His weight is going forward. The left hand is left leaning forward for better balance.

As the shot goes over the net, and it was successful, Fernando will run towards the net, expecting his opponent to either lift the ball short, or try to drop shot his drop shot.

I recently noticed silverfish lurking in my house while handling holiday decorations, so I’m sure others may have the same problem. Silverfish can eat and stain books, fabrics, food and wallpaper, but are often considered being more of a nuisance than a pest. These insects have flattened carrot-shaped bodies with three long “tails” that come off the tip of the abdomen. The body is covered with fine scales that give them a silver sheen. Immatures look just like the adults, but are smaller in size.

Usually silverfish are not seen by homeowners because they are most active at night. They can commonly be found in attics, closets or near bookcases. They may also be found behind baseboards or around door and window casings. Silverfish feed on starchy foods like paper, flour, oats or glue.

Tips for managing silverfish:• Remove old books, papers & magazines• Store items in sealed, plastic bags or plastic containers with tight-

fitting lids• Clean closets on a regular basis- vacuum/ sweep floors and wipe

down any shelves• Reduce humidity with fans, air conditioning or dehumidifiers• Repair any water leaks• Inspect all items before bringing them into the house• Target treatments to where silverfish live- wall voids, closets, attics,

behind baseboards, etc.
