BOOK CLUB

*** Attention New and Former Members *** NEW MEETING DATE –4th Tuesday of each month Want to meet some interesting characters? Open a book. Want to meet some real-life interesting characters, too? Join a book club! TOP 5 REASONS TO JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB: • You meet interesting people. The trick is not to join a book club full of your best friends. It is a great way to meet new people. Our book club is composed of women of all ages and these ladies hail from all over the world. In addition to gaining quite distinct views on the book at hand, we also gain a window into others lives, which can be so very different from our own. • You read things that you wouldn’t otherwise read. Which ties to point #1, people outside of your immediate circle of friends are more likely to have different literary tastes. We all know it is more beneficial to read a wide variety of styles, but it is difficult to pickup books outside your comfort zone. Joining our book club is a great way to expose your self to variety. We can learn from both the good and not so good writers. • Some books need to be discussed. Need I say more?

MEET OUR TEAM!

• You eat great food. The hostess provides soft drinks and dessert and then others bring a small dish or wine to share. We always have something great to eat and drink. • Sometimes it’s fun just to chat. Finally – we do talk about the book and some discussions are longer than others but we also chit chat. It is just a great way to meet and get to know other women. A book club is a great excuse to make and keep friends. Taking the time to enjoy your self and have some fun with books and other people is reward in itself. We meet the 4th Tuesday of each month from 7:00-9:30pm. We read all kinds of books suggested by our members – classics, contemporary fiction, non-fiction, biographies, romance, sci-fi, etc. There are no book snobs in our group – we read it all! Ask about our inventive way of choosing books to read! If you are a book lover or simply want to expand your reading and social network, please consider joining us. We invite any woman in Fairfield or surrounding subdivisions to attend one of our meetings as a guest or a member. This is a great time of the year to join. Please contact Linda Locke at 713-298-6514 (text or call). Come Join us for an evening!

The sequel to their 2007 summer smash hit Smoke on the Mountain; this installment finds the Sanders clan as musical, quirky, and entertaining as ever. This will be a holiday production that is sure to have you clapping your hands, tapping your feet, and celebrating the pure joy of the Christmas season!

GETTING INVOLVED Lastly, I would like to invite everyone to find a way to take part in your sports association. FSA is a volunteer organization and could use your help to provide the best facilities around. There are jobs ranging from helping with try-outs, opening day help, field maintenance, and concessions duty. We hope you familiarize yourself with the Baseball and Softball Committees via our website and reach out to committee members to see how you can help. Three areas needing the most help are baseball committee, nightly field maintenance and concessions. These are opportunities to not only get involved and meet great people, but most of all contribute to making Fairfield one of the best places around for our kids to play sports! On behalf of the Fairfield Sports Association and the Baseball/Softball committee members, I would like to thank you for all your support.

CY-RANCH HIGH SCHOOL MARDI GRAS MAGIC 2015

AUCTION AND GALA FUNDRAISER

SPONSORED BY: SUPPORTING THEATRE AT RANCH (S.T.A.R.) BOOSTER CLUB This year marks Cy-Ranch High School’s 7th production year as a theatrical company. We are under the artistic leadership of Cheryl Bradford (department head), Jane Bankston, and Charles Page. Over the past 5 years, our students have performed to sold-out audiences for musical productions including Hairspray, Anything Goes, Legally Blonde, and Shrek the Musical. We anticipate the same with this year’s production of The Addams Family. In addition to mainstage musicals, UIL competition, Fresh Faces, Comedy Sportz and various other workshops and performances throughout the year, our students annually attend our state’s Thespian festival. This past year, Shrek the Musical received 6 Tommy Tune Nominations. 28 students advanced to the National level and 8 of our students brought home 1st place honors. CFISD Fine Arts programs do not receive financial support from our school district. Up to this point, our operating budget has been raised through patron attendance and various small-scale fundraisers. On February 6, 2015, the Cy-Ranch High School Supporting Theatre at Ranch (S.T.A.R.) Booster Club will host our second annual Mardi Gras Magic Auction & Gala Fundraiser. This large fundraiser will allow us to go above and beyond our basic operating expenses to help to ensure that we will continue to provide quality opportunities for our students. The generous support of businesses in our community plays a key role in the success of our program. Donations of merchandise and gift certificates are needed for our Silent and Live Auctions, as well as cash underwriting. Funds raised through Mardi Gras Magic 2015 will be used to help offset the expenses needed to send students to competitions, provide much needed technical equipment upgrades for our theatre and classrooms, and allow us to bring in guest teachers for the continued growth of our program. We are actively seeking partners for this endeavor. Please consider how you can help. CASH UNDERWRITING ALL Donors will be listed in our Mardi Gras Magic Program Guide MASQUERADE Donations of merchandise or gift certificates for silent/live Auction, Bid Board or Grab Bags GREEN MASQUERADE $250 cash gift - Donors also featured on the auction table PURPLE MASQUERADE $500 cash gift - Donors also featured on main auction table viewed by all attendees and listed on Donor banner; also includes a half page business ad in program guide GOLD MASQUERADE $1,500 cash gift - Donors prominently listed on banner; includes a full page business ad in program guide and a table of 8 tickets to the Gala Contact us for information about matching corporate sponsorships.

THE CIRCLE OF FIRE In the early hours of March 7, 1999, Justina Page's life changed forever when a four-alarm house fire ravaged and destroyed her family's home. “The Circle of Fire” is the triumphant story of how Justina, her husband and five children struggled to survive and move on after losing a 22-month-old baby boy, and their home. She shares that personal tragedy is not a life sentence to despair, anger, and continual pain and suffering. Instead, it is a discovery of how something positive can be salvaged from every agonizing experience, even when your faith has truly been tried by fire.
