CY-FAIR WOMEN’S CLUB

Women Serving the Community

Making a difference is what we strive for all year long. It was an honor creating the Breast Cancer Pillows this month and it was a pleasure to meet our scholarship recipients during our June meeting. We wish them all great success in their personal endeavors. We are very proud to have had the opportunity to support several organizations again this year. A few of these organizations are Reach Unlimited, Mission of Yahweh, Cy-Hope, Cypress Assistance Ministries, Magnificat House and the Glory Ranch. Our goal is to continue assisting our community and making a personal difference. Please remember to come join us in August, as we are all looking forward to a SPA like experience to help us prepare for our very special marketplace event “Shop Til You Drop” on September 8th. Mark your calendars. You don’t want to miss this event! CWC is a service organization that gives back to the community. This

means that all funds raised will go right back to the community in the form of scholarships for graduating high school seniors, at Lone Star College, Cy-Fair and grants to other non-profits in our community, as well. Membership into the Cy-Fair Women’s Club is open to all ladies in Northwest Houston/ Cypress neighborhoods. Currently we meet the first Thursday of most months at West Houston Church of Christ. Our meetings begin with social time and refreshments at 7:00p.m. immediately followed by a program at 7:30p.m. The church is located at the corner of Queenston and West Road. Our monthly meetings are not only educational and enjoyable, but they develop lasting fellowships. We look forward to meeting you there!

School News YOU CAN BE A TREASURED VOLUNTEER! COME BE A PART OF THE “BUS BUDDIES VOLUNTEER PROGRAM” IN OUR CYPRESS-FAIRBANKS ISD SCHOOLS. WHAT IS BUS BUDDIES? Bus Buddies is a partnership between the Cy-Fair community and CypressFairbanks Independent School District to provide assistance to elementary students helping them get off the bus at the correct location. The program requires one “Bus Buddy” per elementary bus the first three days of school. The approximate time commitment is from 2:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. on August 27, 28 and 29. You may choose to volunteer one, two or all three days. Your job is to simply assist the bus driver with making sure the children get off the bus at their correct stops. WHAT IS REQUIRED?

(1) Attend one of the training sessions, if not previously trained. (2) Arrive and sign in at your assigned school where campus staff will assist you. (3) Enjoy helping the kids and driver! WHEN AND WHERE IS THE 1 HOUR TRAINING? Training is held at our Berry Center located at 8877 Barker Cypress Rd., Cypress, TX. August 20th - 9:30 a.m.–10:30 a.m. August 21st - 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (evening session) August 22nd - 7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.

The Partners in Education (PIE) department is looking for the same strong Bus Buddy support we have enjoyed in the past. Making sure that all of our elementary children get off the bus at the correct stop is a very big task. It requires 400+ volunteers in the Cy-Fair community to ride buses to assist the nearly 9,000 riders and their drivers. ALL INTERESTED VOLUNTEER TREASURES PLEASE . . . RSVP and register for a training session by visiting http://www.cfisd.net and selecting “Bus Buddies”. For additional information about the program, please contact the CFISD Partners in Education Department at 281-894-3949.

This is also an opportunity for the Seniors and Juniors to get their parking passes. The parents are able to sign up for Booster Club, pay into their child’s lunch account, order yearbooks, and pick up Mustang Spirit wear. Varsity Football players will also have the opportunity to prepay for their pre game meals and carb load meals with the MOMs Club. It is important that the parents come and be prepared to write a few checks to the school. The incoming freshman can also take a tour of the campus and have the opportunity to have meetings with their teachers.  FRIDAY AUGUST 17TH 10th grade 8:30 - 9:30 | 12th grade 10 - 12 | 11th grade 1 - 3 SATURDAY AUGUST 18TH 9th grade 9 - 12   Please make plans for your student and yourself to attend these “Corral” dates and times to ensure they are ready for an awesome year at CyRanch High School.

Business Section Golfers and Sponsors Needed for ‘FORE Cy-Fair’ the Chamber’s 15th Annual Golf Tournament is underwritten by Texas Emergency Care Center - Cypress

‘FORE Cy-Fair’, the Cy-Fair Chamber’s Annual Golf Tournament will be held at Longwood Golf Club on Monday, October 17 with an 11:30 am scramble-shotgun start. Registration begins at 9:30 am. Putting contests and lunch will be available prior to the shotgun start. Dinner and awards will be held at 5:00 pm. Individual golfers will be treated to lunch provided by Backyard Grill, a delicious fajita dinner, free beverages throughout the day, and green fees and cart. A portion of the proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Adam Skinner Memorial Scholarship Fund of the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. Adam Skinner was a 12 year-old Cy-Fair youth who died in a tragic traffic accident and a scholarship endowment has been established in his memory. The Chamber has contributed more than $74,000 to the endowment. The title underwriter for the 2011 tournament is Texas Emergency Care Center – Cypress. This is the second year for TECC to underwrite the tournament. North Cypress Medical Center added their support to the event with the Lone Star Sponsorship. A wide variety of sponsorship opportunities ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 are available. There are several sponsorships still available, such as the popular, Ambassador Hole Sponsorship which allows sponsors to have a canopy or table at a hole on the course. “Sponsors appreciate this type of interaction with the players and it allows them to hand out promotional items to business owners and community leaders,” said Mary Evans president of the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber. Another favorite is the annual golf ball drop, sponsored by Severn Trent. Numbered golf balls are dropped from a hovering helicopter and the winning ball is pulled from the hole. Tickets are available on the chamber website, one for $5 or five for $20. Winners need not be present to win. Non-golfers are also welcome at the dinner. The cost is $25. To become a sponsor or to RSVP for the dinner call Casey Cargle at the Chamber Office at 281-373-1390 or visit the website at www.cyfairchamber.com. In addition, the tournament is looking for donations of small items for the golfer’s goody bags; to make a donation call Jennifer Ellis at the Chamber Office at 281-373-1390. The Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce has provided leadership and direction to the Cy-Fair area since 1986. In the past quarter-century, Chamber members have worked diligently to build a strong and nurturing business environment while lobbying local, state and federal officials for key improvements and funding for the community’s business, education, mobility, healthcare and non-profit sectors.

Back To School Checklist

Ensuring a Healthy Return to the Classroom Begins at Home As a parent, there’s no doubt that back-to-school season requires a lot of effort to get your kids all set for the challenges of the classroom. But it’s also an important time to consider your child’s health, says Texas pediatrician Daniel Howard, M.D.“From making sure all of the proper vaccinations have been administered on schedule, to getting their kids back on ‘school year’ sleep schedules, health is obviously a huge consideration for parents with school-age children,” Dr. Howard says. • Vaccinations 101. Children should receive a variety of vaccinations and booster shots to prevent them from getting many serious and highly contagious diseases. • Hearing and vision tests. Consider getting your child’s hearing and vision tested before they begin school to prevent learning challenges in the classroom. • Health information. Parents should be prepared to provide schools with a list of emergency contact information that includes telephone numbers for parents, close family, pediatrician, and dentist. • Diet and sleep. Healthy eating is a critical part of a child’s physical and mental development and can help curb the risk of childhood obesity. Sleep is also essential—kids should get between eight to 11 hours per day, depending on their age.

News You Can Use Immunizations: Not Just for Kids By: Concentra Urgent Care

Although most toddlers in the United States have received all recommended vaccines, many adults and adolescents have not. These missed vaccinations increase their risk for infection, hospitalization, death, and disease spread, and they contribute to the estimated $10 billion that is spent annually on vaccine preventable diseases in the United States. Evidence shows that currently approved vaccines are safe and effective. However, coverage rates for persons of all ages vary nationwide. Reasons cited include lack of health insurance, unfamiliarity with vaccine recommendations, limited access at physicians’ offices, or the perceived cost of vaccines. What you need to know is that obtaining recommended vaccines in a timely manner can prevent disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends the immunization schedule to the right for generally healthy adults and adolescents. For more information about immunizations and where to get them, contact your health care provider, your Concentra health specialist, or visit the CDC’s Web Site at: www.cdc.gov/vaccines. *Specific recommendations for individuals may vary depending on age, prior immunization history and the presence of other existing conditions; please see the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Web site at: http://www. cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/default.htm

IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE RECOMMENDATIONS

Influenza: Yearly, especially if at risk Meningococcal: One dose, age 11-12 or 13-18 if not previously immunized Tetanus-Diphtheria/Tetanus One dose, age 11-12, then booster Diphtheria-Pertussis: every 10 years Human Papilloma Virus Three doses, age 11-26 (females only): Measles - Mumps - Rubella: If born after 1956, one or two doses if never immunized up to age 65 Pneumococcal: One dose, at or after age 65 Varicella (chicken pox): Two doses if no prior infection orimmunization received Zoster (shingles): One dose, at or after age 60

Gratitude is the key Unlocking The Doors To Treasures In Our Children By Sugandha Jain

Gratitude is an instant mood converter. Gratefulness is the knife that melds impatience to patience, fear to love and anxiety to peace. Enveloped by the clouds of thankfulness, we can soar high in the air of optimism. Our aura is immediately cleansed when we fill our thoughts with praise. Relationships glow under the varnish of a positive expression in mutual affection. We only have to look around us to realize how blessed we are. Being mindful of the generosity of people, beauty in our surroundings and the uniqueness of our own spirits can help us appreciate our fortunate existence. Opening ourselves to receiving divine grace that is already a part of our lives makes us acknowledge our own sacredness. We appreciate our oneness with the universe and what we feel as a result, is gratitude on being a part of the whole. We feel love, we feel complete.

Modeling gratefulness with our families can help children open their hearts to the love and light in everything they do. Daily writing in their Gratitude Journal can gradually shift children's consciousness to a higher dimension. Constantly reminding children to see the lessons presented by events instead of sulking on challenges can be an exercise in life-long learning. When we encourage children to make choices, evaluate them and re-choose options that help them feel grateful, we show them how to be free. Together, we find that our interactions with each other have always been complete; the missing link in the puzzle in seeking out and seeding in the Om of smile- the symbol of thankfulness. Sugandha Jain is a Master Registered Texas Trainer and Director of Accreditation at a preschool.
