Cy-Fair Women's Club Welcomes New Board Members
The Cy-Fair Women's Club (CWC), a service-oriented organization known for its impactful community work across the Cy-Fair region, has recently welcomed new board members. Each member brings a unique blend of skills, experiences, and aspirations that promise to drive the club's mission forward.
Since its inception in 1982 as the Copperfield Women's Club, the Cy-Fair Women's Club has been a pillar of support and service in the Cy-Fair region. Founded by forward-thinking women dedicated to addressing their community's needs, the club has only expanded in scope and influence over the years, leading to its rebranding in 2012. Turning intention into action, the club has provided scholarships, charity assistance, volunteer services, and monetary aid to countless non-profit organizations.
Annual fundraisers such as the "Shop 'til You Drop Marketplace" have seen them grant an impressive $175,000 towards student scholarships since 2016, with over $270,000 being given back to the community in the past decade alone. The depth of their commitment to service and philanthropy continues to create a tangible and positive impact on their community, enriching lives and uplifting the Cy-Fair region.
Now in its 42nd year of service to the community, the Cy-Fair Women's Club is ushering in a new era of leadership that is focused on continuing and expanding opportunities for short-term volunteering projects that connect members to the needs of the Cy-Fair community.
At the helm is the new president, Elena McCreery, who brings her rich experience from her involvement with Copperfield Women's Club spanning over three decades, and her community service through the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto and her church. With a background in Business Administration and keen management skills, Elena is set on maintaining the club's recent success in fundraising and membership growth. Speaking about her vision for the club, she said, "I am constantly amazed at the impact our club has on the community. I feel immensely proud of the funds we distribute to non-profits and graduating seniors, the hands-on work we do, and the connection and friendship we bring to women."
Vice President of Program, Cathy Smith, who has been a member since 2009, served on the board previously as Vice President of Membership and Secretary. Well-known for her dedication in various committees, she resides in Hearthstone and balances her club commitments with volunteering in the Cornerstone youth program at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and being a caring mother to a CFISD graduate.
Donna Fontenot, the newly appointed Vice President of Membership, joined the club in 2009. Linda has been on, and even chaired, many committees with the CWC and enjoys working with the committee to make sure funds raised by CWC go to worthy charities. With significant experience in the banking and loan industries, she currently serves as a clerical substitute for Cypress Fair Banks Independent School District.
Linda Cox, a member for over two decades, takes up the mantle of Vice President of Fundraising. Beyond her work with the club, Linda is recognized for her voluntary contributions to the Garden on Telge Road, planting and harvesting vegetables for Cy-Fair Helping Hands, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Specializing in helping seniors, Linda is an independent sales agent.
Newly inducted member, Ann Liner, fills the role of Secretary. Previously a Medical Technologist in a hospital lab, she has demonstrated her community spirit through her volunteer work with the PTA, scout troops, Langham Creek High School Band, and her neighborhood HOA Board. Ann has been a member of the CWC since 2022.
Finally, Darcey Slovak, a club member since 2017, serves as the Treasurer. She has previously volunteered her time with the PTA and was the CWC's Vice President of Volunteerism for two years. Currently the Vice President of Mid-West Electric, her financial expertise is a valuable addition to the club's operations.
These new board members are poised to steer the club to greater heights while preserving the rich legacy of female empowerment and community service. To join this inspiring team and learn more about the Cy-Fair Women's Club, visit their website.
