Stevie Bearden 

Membership Coordinator 

sbearden@colleyvillechamber.org 

The Colleyville Area Chamber is a reflection of all of our businesses and of our 

community. The economy is on a slow process of recovery. Because of this, 

everyone is doing more with less. We are working more hours and putting more 

energy into our businesses. 

The Chamber has been doing the same. The Board of Directors has passed a lean 

budget for this year, recognizing we need to do more with less income. The staff 

has worked hard to reduce our expenses as much as possible. Now we all need to 

pull together to utilize the Chamber and a great means to grow our businesses. 

There are many low cost or no cost ways to do more for your business. 

One of the most effective ways to take advantage of the Chamber is to become 

involved in one of the networking groups of the Chamber. These groups become 

promoters of our individual businesses and spend time understanding the unique 

products and services our businesses offer. We all can use more positive word of 

mouth advertising. 

We recently held our Awards Banquet where we recognized the outstanding 

service of many volunteers in the Chamber and in our community. This was a 

great time to celebrate the past. Now we look forward to one of the most enjoyable 

events of the Chamber: City Slickers. This has been a long-standing tradition of 

our Chamber that many in our community enjoy attending. 

City Slickers provides another means for you to market your business to the 

Colleyville area community through sponsorships, donating auction items or 

volunteering on the committee. Make plans to join us on May 16 at the Grapevine 

Convention Center!

“...our team welcomed 

17 new patients.” 

The Fort Worth Plastic Surgery center 

joined the Colleyville Chamber in July 

of 2009. Understanding the value of 

putting your membership to work, I was 

anxiously awaiting the Chamber Expo 

to showcase our practice as well as the 

Robert G. Anderson, MD Medical Spa. 

True to form, the Expo was packed and 

our booth produced outstanding results. 

From the Cosmetic and Reconstructive 

side of our practice to our noninvasive 

Medical Spa, Dr. Robert G. Anderson 

and our team welcomed to date 17 new 

patients. Thank you for putting on such 

fabulous events that enable me to speak 

with and meet so many people.

“it’s a 

Wonderful Life” 

For 2009 our business was very 

successful inpart to our relationship with 

our friends at the Colleyville Chamber. 

Those friends provided encouragement, 

support, services, business and referrals. 

Every small business needs friends. 

If you remember the greatest movie 

“It’s a Wonderful Life,” George built 

relationships. George was faithful to his 

friends in the good and bad times alike. 

And when George had a bad day what he 

needed most was his family & friends. 

During this past year’s tumultuous 

economic times it has been my family 

and friends in the Colleyville Chamber 

that have supported me and our business. 

During 2009 our business GREW! Thank 

you friends of Colleyville Chamber for 

helping us succeed in 2009.

You 

gotta LOVE 

Your Chamber! 

One thing I have learned about 

networking is you get out of it what you 

put into it! 

As a second year member of the 

Colleyville Area Chamber of Commerce, 

I have obtained many rewards through 

the friendships developed with other 

chamber members. What I have learned 

is the chamber is an excellent tool to help 

you find additional customers and create 

lasting relationships. It is about knowing 

the person behind the business name 

which makes a difference with me. When 

I became an Ambassador, I met Patrice 

Ciaccio, Sales Director with Cambridge 

Luxury Patio Homes. A year later I am 

now in the process of building a house 

with Cambridge Homes! 

I am also involved with the Thursday 

“Colleyville Connection” network group. 

Guess who my realtor is? Sophie Tel-Diaz of 

PrudentialTexasProperties!Anotherperson 

who I trust with such a large investment. 

That is just a small sample since I try 

to do all my business with chamber 

members now –to know them is to love 

doing business with them. Therefore you 

gotta love your chamber!

Dear Colleyville 

Area Chamber of 

Commerce Friends: 

I wanted to thank you for a great first six 

months. This has been my first Chamber 

experience and I have been pleasantly 

surprised. From the very welcoming 

Ambassadors to the ever accommodating 

staff – you guys know how to make a new 

chamber member feel at home! 

As a guest at the August Monthly 

Chamber Lunch, I learned first hand 

the effectiveness of being involved in a 

chamber. I was a new member and gave 

my 30 second “commercial” to the large 

crowd in attendance. As I walked off stage 

and headed back to my seat, another 

guest reached out for my arm and said he 

wanted to meet me after the lunch. That 

person, that day, became a client. 

Since the luncheon, there is not an event 

in town that I walk into without knowing a 

majority of the attendees – connections and 

clients I have made through the Chamber. 

Thank you for all you do. I look forward to 

a promising future as an active member 

of the Colleyville Chamber.

Preserving Your Health and beauty for over 20 years 

FoRT WoRTH PlASTIC SURGERY CENTER 

robert G. Anderson, M.d., a board-certified plastic surgery 

specialist and medical director of the Fort Worth Plastic 

Surgery Center, provides exceptional care and outstanding 

results to his cosmetic surgery patients. For over 20 years, 

he has served his patients, earning the very distinguished 

reputation as a caring, talented, and consistently successful 

plastic surgeon. 

fort Worth plastic surgery center specializes in 

cosmetic surgery and complex reconstructive procedures. 

Every member of Dr. Anderson’s support team – including 

anesthesiologists, anesthetists, nursing personnel, and 

administrative team – strive to provide you with relevant 

information and the education you need to make the best 

possible decisions for yourself. Dr. Anderson and his team 

are experts in both the science of reconstructive surgery 

and the art of cosmetic surgery at their Fort Worth practice. 

From facial rejuvenation and breast augmentation to body 

contouring, their goal is the same: to preserve and enhance 

your appearance and elevate your self-image. 

When choosing a cosmetic surgeon, one of the most 

important decisions you and your surgeon can make is 

the choice of a surgery center. Fort Worth Plastic Surgery 

Center is conveniently located at 800 12th Avenue in Fort 

Worth’s medical district. While beautifully appointed, the 

comfortable waiting area provides a most welcoming and 

pleasant environment for patients, family and friends. 

The immaculately maintained cosmetic surgery center is a 

2000-square-foot, accredited facility in which Dr. Anderson 

performs the majority of his procedures, providing an added 

level of convenience and privacy to his patients. 

Fort Worth Plastic Surgery Center is devoted to medical and 

surgical excellence, offering comprehensive surgery services. 

The education of their team, the selection of technologies, 

and the range of surgical processes and procedures offered 

are regularly updated to provide patients with the safest, 

most comfortable surgical experience possible. The Fort 

Worth Plastic Surgery Center features a vast array of clinical 

specialists and support team who assist patients throughout 

their plastic surgery procedures and recovery. 

As a renowned Fort Worth plastic surgeon, Dr. Anderson 

is devoted to providing his patients with exceptional care 

and outstanding results. Over the years, he has gained 

considerable recognition as a leading facelift and rhinoplasty 

(nose reconstruction) surgeon. He is also highly regarded as 

a liposuction, tummy tuck and breast augmentation specialist 

in the Metroplex. 

Dr. Anderson is a member of numerous professional 

organizations, including the American Society of Plastic 

Surgery and the prestigious American Society of Aesthetic 

Plastic Surgeons. He was seen in Forbes Magazine as one of 

the top 10 cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeons in 

the United States in 2009, and also featured in Newsweek 

Magazine as plastic surgeons you should know in Texas. 

Prior to establishing himself as a cosmetic and reconstructiove 

surgeon in Fort Worth, Dr. Anderson completed his medical 

degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical 

School at Dallas. He completed residencies in Plastic Surgery 

and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, as well as a 

fellowship in Otology, Neurotology, and Skull Base Surgery. 

Dr. Anderson maintains a firm commitment to patient 

education and the advancement of plastic surgery. He spent 

more than five years on the full-time faculty of the University 

of Texas Southwestern Medical School and has been a member 

of the editorial board of Selected Readings in Plastic Surgery 

since 1987. He is the author of numerous scientific articles 

and book chapters and is a nationally recognized authority on 

facial nerve injuries. 

Volunteering as a medical missionary, Dr. Anderson spent 

nearly six months in the Fiji Islands, working with and 

training local surgeons and lecturing at the University of the 

South Pacific. More recently he has been involved in medical 

missionary work in Mexico and Central America. 

Dr. Anderson, his wife Janie, and their three children have 

resided in the Fort Worth area since 1987. * 

WElCoME To THE TEAM: J. Martin English, M.D. 

Most recently, Dr. Anderson has announced J. Martin English, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon 

with more than 20 years of experience, as the newest member of the surgical team at the Fort Worth 

Plastic Surgery Center. 

Dr. English complements Dr. Anderson’s expertise in offering world-class facial enhancement and 

body contouring surgical procedures including facelifts, breast augmentations, abdominoplasty and 

rhinoplasty, as well as the latest cosmetic techniques such as BOTOX, Fraxel Re:pair laser skin resurfacing 

and several injectable fillers for specific areas of the face and neck. 

Like Dr. Anderson, Dr. English is skilled in reconstructive surgery following treatment for skin cancer, 

breast cancer and other medical conditions. In addition, Dr. English specializes in performing lower 

body lifts of the torso, buttocks and thighs and is skilled at combining “tummy tucks” and liposuction. 

“Many patients who have undergone considerable weight loss after bariatric surgery have benefited 

greatly from these techniques,” he says. 

Dr. English received his undergraduate degree at the University of Florida and his medical degree from 

the University of Miami School of Medicine, where he graduated in the top five percent of his class. 

Dr. English has been in private practice in the Dallas area since 1988 and continues to maintain a private 

practice there in addition to offering his services at the Fort Worth Plastic Surgery Center. 

With the addition of another world-class surgeon and the ever-expanding selection of breakthrough 

treatments and procedures available, Dr. Anderson and Fort Worth Plastic Surgery Center remain at the 

forefront of surgical cosmetic enhancements in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. 

Get Your Summer body on! 

ZERONA® Body Sculpting Procedure 

zERONA® is a new non-invasive body sculpting 

procedure designed to remove fat and contour the 

body without invasive surgery. The zERONA® Laser 

Scanner allows for the emulsification of fat tissue, 

which is then passed through the body during its 

normal course of detoxification. ZERONA®, unlike 

other procedures, allows the patient to continue his 

or her daily activities without interruptions from 

surgery, pain, wounds or garments. 

About Face! 

Fraxel Re:pair System 

Fraxel re:pair® treatment is a preemptive strike 

against a facelift that delivers surgery-like results for 

the most severe skin damage! Dr. Anderson uses the 

treatment to tighten skin and correct damage without 

any incisions or subsequent scarring. Deep wrinkles, 

irregular texture, age spots/sunspots, and sun-induced 

redness are all treated by the Fraxel re:pair at The 

Fort Worth Plastic Surgery Center. What’s more, most 

patients are able to return to regular activities within 

just one week!

from YoUR PolICE CHIEF lETTER from the MAYoR 

Thanks to the Colleyville Area 

Chamber of Commerce for 

allowing me the opportunity to 

introduce myself. My name is 

Steve Dye, and I am honored to 

be Colleyville’s new police chief. I 

began my career with the Houston 

Police Department in 1984 and 

served with the Garland Police 

Department the past 14 years, 

where I retired as an assistant 

chief to accept the position in Colleyville. 

I have been fortunate to work in several different capacities in 

my law enforcement career including, Patrol, Traffic, SWAT, 

Narcotics, and Mounted Patrol. I have been married for 

almost 25 years to my wife, Noemi, and we have two teenage 

daughters in high school. 

One of the main reasons I was interested in serving 

Colleyville is the outstanding reputation of the city and its 

unique character. Since starting last month, I have had a 

chance to meet many members of the Colleyville community 

and have been so impressed with the sincere and gracious 

welcome I have received. I look forward to getting to know 

many more of you in the weeks and months ahead. I am 

privileged to work with professional and caring City of 

Colleyville employees and will do my part to continue to 

provide the best city services possible. 

Under my leadership, our police department will continue to 

emphasize a community policing philosophy in the deliverance 

of a high level of police service. We will always understand 

the importance of teamwork and collaboration with our 

community members and business partners in maintaining 

a safe and secure city. Our police department will focus on 

professional customer service, delivered with integrity. We 

will be mindful to use innovation to benefit our operations

Colleyville police are seeking cooperation from citizens and businesses to stop a recent 

rash of vehicle burglaries in the city. And they’re providing a means...and a reminder... 

to illicit that assistance: reintroduction of the Stop Thief/Hide-Lock-Take citizen action 

program. This time we need our businesses to get involved. 

In the coming weeks, Colleyville police will be working with local businesses to spread 

the Stop Thief!/Hide-Lock-Take message by agreeing to display a small sign on the 

front doors or front counters of local businesses. The police department will provide 

the signs. 

Since December, the city has seen an increase in vehicle burglaries. In roughly half of 

those instances, police found that the cars were left unlocked. Now police are cautioning 

drivers to hide your things, lock your car, and take your keys. The Colleyville Police 

Department hopes it’s a message that is heeded not only in the parking lots of local 

stores, gyms, and businesses, but at home while parked in the driveway—where many 

of the burglaries have occurred. 

Colleyville is indeed one of the safest cities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. However, 

crime can happen anywhere and when people don’t take precautions, it becomes more 

likely that crime will happen here. Statistics show that vehicle burglaries are crimes of 

opportunity. If thieves can’t easily gain access to a car, home, or garage, they are more 

likely to choose another target. 

In 2008, the Colleyville Police Department launched the STOP THIEF! Program. The 

first of its kind in Texas, the program is simple, consisting of a printed placard placed 

on the car’s rearview mirror each time it is parked. The placard serves as a notice to 

potential thieves that there are no valuables in the car; it also serves as a reminder 

to vehicle owners to remove any valuables, including bags, purses, briefcases, money, 

laptops, radar detectors, etc. 

iT’S GOOD ADViCE. COLLEYViLLE POLiCE HOPE PEOPLE LiSTEN. 

The business signs are free and can be obtained at the Colleyville Justice Center, 5201 

Riverwalk Drive, in Colleyville. For more information, contact Community Services 

Officer Raymon Cannon at 817.503.1230.

MAxiMizinG Your 

After tAx eArninGs 

2009 and 2010 Tax Law Changes 

and How it Will Affect Your Business– 

Many of the tax breaks you have been enjoying are scheduled to expire in 2010. 

Are you ready? Are you planning for the changes? 

In order to stimulate spending, the government allowed businesses the 

opportunity to reduce income, resulting in reduced tax liabilities, enabling 

small businesses to purchase equipment, hire staff, and market their business. 

So as a business owner, when filing your 2009 returns, some of the key tax 

considerations you should consider include: Depreciation of Assets, Bonus 

Depreciations, Vehicles, Lease Hold Improvements, and Payroll Filing. 

ASSET DEPRECIATION: Over the last 8 years, small businesses have been able 

to fully depreciate assets purchased in a single year. In 2009, businesses could 

deduct up to $250,000 from their revenues in depreciation, when total capital 

purchases are under $800,000. Do note, that if your business purchased over 

$800,00, the depreciation deduction would be decreased dollar for dollar over 

the $800,000 investment. 

However, there are always pros and cons. If your depreciation election increased 

your income dramatically, you will lose the depreciation benefit in future years, 

thus increasing your tax liabilities each year thereafter. To avoid this, you would 

not take the write off immediately and thus write off the asset over a period of years. 

Note, this eight year opportunity is set to expire in 2010, so you may only be able 

to depreciate $25,000 on 2010 asset purchases. 

How you purchase and depreciate your assets should follow your business goals 

and strategies, not the other way around. Due to the complexity of the options, this 

is a topic that should be discussed with your CPA - it can make a huge difference 

in your tax liabilities. 

BONUS DEPRECIATION: Along with 

Depreciation of assets there is a Bonus 

Depreciation. This is another tax benefit to 

stimulate spending. The bonus depreciation 

allows you to write off ½ of your applicable 

property/assets in addition to the asset 

depreciation described above. 

The bonus depreciation can dramatically 

increase your after tax earnings and can 

be used to generate a loss. However, this is 

planned to expire in 2010, so discussions 

with your CPA are essential to ensure you 

are not increasing your income significantly, 

thus increasing your tax liabilities in 

following years. 

VEHICLES: Another topic that continually 

changes are vehicle deductions. In the past 

there were a number of loop holes in vehicle 

write-offs. This is no longer the case. 

The only vehicles that have a 100% writeoff 

are heavy duty work vehicles that weigh 

over 6,000 lbs. These can be written off over 

a 7 year period. However, If your vehicle is 

under 6,000 lbs, then it is considered listed 

property and the write off amounts are: 

year 1 - $10,960, and years 2 through 7 - 

$2,960. 

This now begs the question - should you 

depreciate your vehicle or use mileage 

allowance reimbursements. The vast 

majority of circumstances indicate utilizing 

mileage is a sounder financial strategy. This 

again depends on the type of business. 

Many companies buy vehicles in the 

company name so they can write it off. 

Did you know that buying a vehicle in 

the company name makes you liable for 

Business Personal Property Tax (BPP)? If 

purchased personally, there is no current 

tax on this property. The counties are 

starting to ask and tax any property used 

in business whether owned personally or 

in a business name. The first target is the 

realtors and their personally owned cars. 

(Exceptions to this rule would include 

large fleets of vehicles that you tend to 

lease anyway.) 

Ready for a remodel? Think first before you 

begin in 2010. From Oct 2004 to year end 

2009, businesses were allowed to improve 

their leases and write off the improvements 

over a 15 year period. 

Do not rely on the past; “TIMES 

ARE A CHANGING.” Work 

very closely with your CPA to 

ensure you are making the right 

decisions for your business. 

Unless there are changes to regulations, 

this is expected to expire in 2010, meaning 

businesses will have to write off remodelling 

expenditures over 27.5 years for a rental 

property, and 39 years for non-residential 

- with no bonus depreciation! Something to 

consider before renovating. 

PAyROLL: Out of habit, many businesses 

filed a 941 (quarterly). If your business pays 

less than $1000 annual liability for social 

security, Medicare, and withheld federal 

taxes, you must file the 944 (annually), this 

saves you money and time in quarterly tax 

preparation. 

DIF SCORE: Another example of potential 

financial impact is surpassing your DIF 

score, which is a line the IRS uses to 

determine who will be audited–your CPA 

can help you determine how to best invest, 

depreciate, and plan for the future without 

exceeding your DIF score. 

Do not rely on the past; “times are a 

changing.” I encourage you to work very 

closely with your CPA to ensure you 

are making the right decisions for your 

business. *

from GCISD SUPERINTENDENT 


The spring semester is a busy time in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. 

We continue recognizing student and staff accomplishments, 

and celebrating the community partnerships that are vital to 

the success of the District. 

Ten GCISD schools made the list of higher performing schools 

for 2009 as determined by the National Center for Educational 

Achievement in conjunction with Just for the Kids. Schools are 

selected based on outstanding performance across multiple 

grades and years. GCISD schools making the list are: Bransford 

Elementary, Colleyville Elementary, Grapevine Elementary, 

Heritage Elementary, O.C. Taylor Elementary, Timberline Elementary, Colleyville Middle, 

Heritage Middle, Colleyville Heritage High and Grapevine High. 

Seven students qualified for the prestigious Texas All-State band and choirs. They performed 

in February at the Texas Music Educators Association Annual Convention in San Antonio. 

Participants were: Laura Bumgardner and Kelly Springer, both of CHHS; and Teresa 

Gottfredson, Dustin Norwood, Jordan Sakakeeny, Vanessa Todora, and Amanda Wills, all 

of GHS. Congratulations to these outstanding musicians! 

In February, 42 GCISD students attended the first North Texas Youth Leadership Institute, a 

two-day leadership conference involving 150 juniors and seniors from GCISD, Carroll ISD and 

Keller ISD. The conference focused on service leadership and on providing students with tools 

to prepare them as effective and motivated leaders. The event was an excellent opportunity 

for students to network with area business leaders and build leadership skills. Thanks to the 

Southlake Kiwanis and Carroll ISD for sponsoring the event for our area students. 

On a personal note, you likely have heard 

that I have been named the sole finalist 

for Superintendent of Richardson ISD. 

The news is bittersweet for me – I am 

excited about this new chapter in my life 

and extremely honored by the invitation 

to join hands with their team, but I will not 

forget the joy I’ve experienced as part of the 

GCISD family. I have thoroughly enjoyed 

my time in this community and did not 

make this decision without much thought 

and prayer. Since coming to GCISD, I have 

had the pleasure of working alongside 

dedicated professionals who care deeply 

about our students and are committed to 

instructional excellence. I am proud of all 

we’ve accomplished over the last 5½ years 

and commend our students, staff, parents, 

and community members for continued 

support of quality programs. Rest assured 

that GCISD is in good hands going forward. 

GCISD is successful because of this 

community’s passion, love for students, 

and commitment to being the best. As I 

look to the opportunities ahead, I thank 

you for the privilege and honor of serving 

this community. 

Many opportunities for involvement are 

available in coming months. Important 

dates include: 

• MARCH 8-12: Texas Public Schools 

Week in GCISD
