DIVAS® HALF MARATHON & 5K SERIES RETURNS TO SAN FRANCISCO BAY FOR THE THIRD YEAR
Series expected to set record high registration numbers and bring thousands to Bay Area on race weekend
MIAMI, FL- The Divas® Half Marathon & 5K Series is excited to return to the San Francisco Bay Area for a third year on June 1, 2014.The event, known for boas, tiaras, bubbly and sparkling finisher medals, is expected to break its previous registration record and bring an estimated 6,500 runners and 1,000 spectators to the Bay Area on race weekend.
“The registration numbers for this third running of the Divas® Half Marathon & 5K Event in San Francisco Bay, California are amazing!” says Continental Event and Sports Management National Race Director, Gaby Pozo. “Thanks to the hard work of the San Mateo Convention & Visitors Bureau and the cities of San Mateo, Burlingame and Foster City, this event will be spectacular and from the looks of it, the largest in its brief 3-year history. The rise in participation shows that the course is absolutely breathtaking and one worth experiencing again and again as many participants will be back for the second or third time.”
This year, Auburn, California resident, Jamie Quadra, will be joining in on the Divas® fun. Jamie was paralyzed by a stroke and completely lost the ability to walk eight years ago. “I started running to celebrate the 5th anniversary of my stroke survival” said Jamie. “I run because a doctor told me that I would never run again.” When asked why she chose the Divas® event, she replied, “I chose the Divas® Half Marathon so that I could get dressed up with my runner girls and have a great time out on the course. Pace is not important to me. For me, one percent, 100 times can get me to 100 percent, no matter what the odds. My hair grew back after they shaved it for surgery, all paralysis has been overcome except in my left hand, and I can't wait to be a Diva!”
The half marathon will begin on Sunday June 1, 2014 at 7:00 AM with the 5K following at 7:15 AM. Both races will start and finish at Bayside Park in Burlingame, California. The event will be preceded by a two day Health and Fitness Boutique at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront.
For more information, please visit the Divas® Half Marathon & 5K Series website at www.runlikeadiva.com.

FUTURE EVENT: - U. S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier is proud to announce:
I am also proud to announce the first annual Congressional STEM Academic Competition, a.k.a. the “House App Contest.” This new competition is designed to engage students’ creativity and encourage participation in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Representing Silicon Valley – a hotbed of innovation – has convinced me of the importance of such initiatives that promote investment in STEM education, as well as legislation like H.R. 2426, the Educating Tomorrow’s Engineers Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor. We must prepare our students for employment in the high-tech industry and enhance American competitiveness in the global economy.
The House APP contest is also open to students eligible to enroll in high schools located in the 14th District, and to teams of up to four if at least two students reside in the 14th District. Students must register at StudentAppChallenge.house.gov and create an account at ChallengePost.com by April 30, 2014. Students can visit ChallengePost any time before then to submit their contact information, completed release form, and final app entry. Students can learn more about the competition and find resources for students and teachers on my website. For any additional information, contact Kenneth Dowling at kenneth.dowling@mail.house.gov or (202) 225-3531.

All the best,
Jackie

DELTA DAY OF HOPE – Thursday May 8th 2014
Delta Air Lines Partners with American Cancer Society to Achieve
$1.3 million in Employee Fundraising to End Cancer
ATLANTA – The American Cancer Society announced that Delta Air Lines, which serves nearly 165 million customers each year and employs nearly 80,000 people worldwide, will partner once again to support the Society and its signature fundraising event Relay For Life. The goal of the initiative this year is to generate $1.3 million toward ending cancer.
On Thursday, May 8, Delta employees will observe the fifth annual Delta Day of Hope, which is modeled after Relay For Life, a walking event that celebrates survivors and honors those whose lives were taken by cancer. Relay For Life events will be held on this day at more than 100 airports around the globe with Delta service including Atlanta, New York, Detroit and Minneapolis, as well as Rome, Tokyo, Sydney and Zurich.
In each city, the Delta Day of Hope will take place at the airport. Delta employees and travelers at the event will share in a day full of music, activities and memories to fund cancer research and provide services for patients and caregivers.
“Delta’s culture of winning together doesn’t end at taking care of our customers with the excellent service they deserve every day as a global airline,” said Gil West, Delta Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “It continues by giving back meaningfully to the communities we’re privileged to serve to combat cancer, a disease that has touched us all.”
At its Technical Operations Center in Atlanta on May 9, Delta’s popular Jet Drag will challenge dozens of teams to pull a Boeing 757 aircraft 20 feet in the fastest time. Events will culminate that afternoon with a large Relay For Life event at Delta’s general offices in Atlanta.
“Cancer is the leading cause of death from illness in the U.S. workforce, and it creates one of the greatest economic burdens of all leading causes of death worldwide,” said American Cancer Society Chief Executive Officer John Seffrin, Ph.D. “The generosity and ongoing support of Delta Air Lines have a direct impact on the Society’s ability to ensure that lifesaving cancer research continues to get funded, people facing cancer get the help they need, and our efforts are amplified so we can make this cancer’s last century.”
This year, Delta is expanding its support of Relay For Life to new cities and growing its fundraising efforts through an online auction that will be active in August, as well as participating in American Cancer Society gala events.
The American Cancer Society recognized Delta with its Distinguished Corporate Achievement award for its fundraising efforts in the fight to end cancer in 2012, and the company was awarded the prestigious Pinnacle Award for raising more than $1 million in 2013. Delta participated in its first Relay For Life event in 2000.
For more information about the American Cancer Society or to find a Relay For Life event near you, call 800-227-2345 or visit relayforlife.org.

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 mark 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.

Water Conservation
The City of San Bruno, on their web page, writes: “This past fall and winter has been one of the driest years on record across the state of California. At the State level, Governor Brown has declared a drought emergency and has asked California residents and businesses to reduce their water consumption by at least 20%.
“At the local level, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has issued a statement today requesting a voluntary 10% reduction on the SF Regional Water System in response to the dry weather conditions and to ensure that available water supplies are prudently managed.
“In coordination with this local advisory, the City of San Bruno is asking residents and businesses to conserve water to help meet the 10% voluntary reduction goal that will help preserve Hetch Hetchy’s and our own groundwater’s valuable resources.
“The SFPUC is closely monitoring water levels in the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and snow pack data. Within the next 90 days, the SFPUC will have survey data from snow pack depths and reservoir resource levels throughout the SF Regional Water Supply to share with other water agencies. The data results will allow water agencies to develop their specific water supply strategies for the future. Residents of San Bruno are requested to follow water conservation practices at all times. The City will update residents on any changes made to the request of a 10% voluntary reduction when new information is available.
“Water Conservation Tips and additional information is available on the city’s website at www.sanbrunowater.ca.gov and on Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency’s (BAWSCA) website at http://bawsca.org/ “
