& Pinktober365Team Tiara is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to raising

money to fund research and education for breast cancer as well as provide outreach services to those affected by it. 2012 will mark our 7th year in this fight against breast cancer. To date, we have raised over $600,000 for breast cancer awareness, research and direct support for survivors. In 2012, Team Tiara will begin directly funding research into metastatic breast cancer. This is an under-funded area of research where we need to have a lasting impact. Men and women do not die when their cancer is confined to their breasts. We lose them when that cancer spreads to their bones, liver, lungs, brain and other organs -- robbing them of time with their families and friends. This is the heart-breaking side of breast cancer, and an area of research we need to be a part of.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 in 2012, specifically targeted to metastatic breast cancer research. SO WE are excited to announce that www.pinktober365.com launched January 1. This new website will profile 365 pink warriors -- survivors, walkers, researchers, and advocates. We want to hear your story, whether you are a fighter, survivor, family or friend affected by breast cancer. Go to www.pinktober365.com to share your story or obtain more information. Team Tiara would be honored to hear from you.

Granny gets the glory in this musical comedy at the Hill Country Community Theatre, but more than a celebratory valentine to grandmas, this is a show about all of us. The play boasts a musical score that is both gutsy and gorgeous mixed with dialogue that is both smart and clever which will leave you smiling, reflecting and remembering. Grandmother sure isn’t what she used to be, but the more she changes, the more she stays the same. Inside, a glossily turned out grandma is overflowing with awe and wonder and a pushover for the beauty and delight of the miracle that is her grandchild.

By: Concentra Urgent Care

APPROXIMATELY EVERY 60 SECONDS, AN AMERICAN WILL DIE FROM A CORONARY EVENT.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), an estimated 71 million Americans have some form of heart disease, the most common being high blood pressure. And most of these problems are self-created by poor lifestyle choices.

What can you do to live heart healthy?The AHA recommends:

EATING A HEALTHY DIET• Lean, skinless meats and poultry• Fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products• Avoid foods containing par t ia l ly

hydrogenated vegetable oil or added sugars• Avoid foods high in dietary cholesterol• Prepare foods without added salt, saturated

fat, and trans fatEXERCISING REGULARLY

• 20-to-60 minutes per day, 3-to-5 times per week

• AVOIDING TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND TOBACCO SMOKE

• LIMITING YOUR ALCOHOL INTAKE

• Women: 1 drink per day (maximum)• Men: 2 drinks per day (maximum)

In addition to poor lifestyle choices, heredity plays a factor in heart disease, too. It is therefore important to know your family history to help identify familial risk factors and help prevent the development of certain familial illnesses.

What should be includedin a family history?

ANY KNOWN CONGENITALOR HEREDITARY DISORDERS

MAJOR ILLNESSES

CHRONIC AILMENTSOR RISK FACTORS

Lakeline Ranch ReaderGirl Scouts Celebrate their Centennial

with the Year of the GirlJuliette “Daisy” Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah,

Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.

Within a few years, Daisy’s dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts marks it’s 100 year Anniversary and has declared 2012 the Year of the Girl: a celebration of girls, recognition of their leadership potential, and a commitment to creating a coalition of like-minded organizations and individuals in support of balanced leadership in the workplace and in communities across the country. For the past century, Girl Scouts has been the premier leadership organization for girls. With more than 50 million alumnae, the impact and role of Girl Scouts in this country and Texas is undeniable and far reaching.

DID YOU KNOW?• 80% of women business owners were Girl Scouts• 68% of female U.S. Members of Congress are Girl Scouts• Virtually every female astronaut who has ever flown in space was

a Girl Scout• 80% of volunteerism in America comes from the efforts &

inspiration of 50 million Grown-up Girl ScoutsImagine a new generation of leaders who lead in an innovative

way, stepping across barriers of class and ethnicity, guiding out of principle rather than pride, actively seeking out the work that needs to be done in the world and bringing boundless energy and enthusiasm to each challenge.

Girl Scouts of Central Texas strives to create an environment where girls can discover themselves and their values; a place where they can connect with others, push boundaries and test limits; a place where they can develop their leadership potential and take action; a place

that will serve as the launch pad for a successful life.Girl Scouts of Central Texas provides girls a myriad of programs–

from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) based learning experiences to educational travel programs (Destinations) for teen girls who might not otherwise experience life in other cultures. These opportunities are available to all girls, from all socio-economic backgrounds, including girls living in shelters, in housing projects, girls who have been incarcerated and girls whose mothers are incarcerated.

During the centennial year there will be a myriad of activities. Beginning with Cookie sales in January, these activities include a Capitol Sing-along (March 12th ), a Camporee (April), a Leadership Conference (August), an interactive exhibit at the Texas State Fair (September-October) and culminates in a candlelit vigil in December to mark the beginning of the next 100 years. All present and former Girls Scouts are invited to attend.

The Girl Scout mission continues to be: build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. It is a movement that has been developing leaders for 100 years and will continue for 100 more.
