The Northwest Flyers Track Club will host an orientation/registration session for all middle and high school athletes and their parents interested in joining for the 2013 season. The event will be held on Friday, April 12, from 7:00 – 8:30 PM at Cypress Creek High School, 9815 Grant Rd., Houston.

The Northwest Flyers is a youth (ages 6 -18) track organization, affiliated with USA Track & Field. The club provides a full program of “track” events such as sprints, hurdles, middle distance, distance and relays, and “field” events such as long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, shot put and javelin. It is an excellent “off-season” program for young athletes who currently compete on their middle school or high school track teams.

The club was founded 26 years ago by Olympic gold medalist Fred Newhouse to foster the development of youth track & field in the northwest Houston area. Last year, the Northwest Flyers sent 106 young athletes to compete at U.S. Junior Olympics National Championships in Baltimore, Maryland and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Visit the team website at http://www.northwestflyers.org for registration forms and information prior to the session, or contact Linette Roach at (281) 587-8442, or [email protected].

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Worship Service / Support Group

Fairfield Baptist Church is considering a special worship service each week for those with memory impairments such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

We would also welcome those with other disabilities that make it impractical, or feel uncomfortable, attending a standard worship service.

During this time we would invite the caregivers to attend worship service or a small group of their choosing.

We would also welcome those from other local churches to consider dropping off their family member for this service. They could then return to their home church for worship.

We are also considering facilitating an Alzheimer’s Support Group for caregivers that would meet during the week.

If you, or someone you know, would benefit from such a service, or if you would like additional information please contact Dan Ward at [email protected] / 832-492-5310.

Looking for Volunteers! High School Students from 60 countries are arriving to our

area this coming august and I am looking for volunteers to host them. You need to provide a bed and meals for the student. They have their own spending money and are fully insured. If you are interested in volunteering and making a dream of a teen come true please email or call.

MARCH MEETING FEATURED SPEAKER

Please join fellow Aggie Moms for our monthly meeting on March 12th at 7 p.m. featuring Dr. R. Bowen Loftin, President of Texas A&M University. If your senior is Aggie bound, you’ll want to take this opportunity to get up front and personal with the President of the best darn University in the country. All meetings are open to the public and prospective students, current students and Aggie families are always welcome! Refreshments will be served! Details on our website www.nwhcaggiemoms.org .

Aggie Moms, as an organization, encourages parents to become familiar with A&M during their student’s freshman year instead of waiting for graduation to visit as is the custom on other university campuses. The path to graduation can be a challenging journey; don’t go it alone. Northwest Harris County Aggie Moms has been here for 25 years and we’re committed to helping your student and YOU enjoy the TAMU experience.

The Northwest Harris County Aggie Mom’s Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. (August-May), at the Houston Distributing Company, 7100 High Life Drive and Cutten Road. Drop on by and say Howdy. We’ll be darn glad you did! Feel free to contact Tish Otten, Club President at clubpres20122gmail.com.

Our up-coming events include awarding scholarships totaling $14,500 to 13 Fighting Aggie Students for the 2013-2014 academic year. Information on our club’s scholarship program is on the web site.

In addition, the CyFair A&M Club encourages area former students and Texas A&M supporters to join its uniquely targeted Aggie experience in its dual mission to raise scholarship funds for students exclusively from the CyFair area, and to support the community. Just two of its many springtime events include the April 21 Muster and May 17 golf tournament, both right here in CyFair at Sterling Country Club! Tournament sponsorships are still available, as well as golf foursomes at $100 per entrant.
