Wendy Drapela named chairman of 2022 Lunar Rendezvous Festival
W
endy Drapela, a long time community volunteer, will serve as general chairman of this summer’s 57th Lunar Rendezvous Festival. She has called League City home for the last 29 years. Once she arrived, she jumped right into her “service” career, beginning with teaching Continuing Catholic Education at her church. During the past several years Wendy has been active in chairing multiple events, including the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Luncheon. Last summer she teamed up with Kathy Rea to chair the always-fabulous Lunar Rendezvous Fashion Show. Wendy has many names, wife, mom and MawMaw! She is married to Mark Drapela, the mother to Aric and Kasey, and MawMaw to Kayson Carroll and Willow Bird! She would not be able to volunteer for Lunar Rendezvous without the support of Abbey Lee, the owner of Moxie District 31. Wendy works as the sales manager at Moxie District 31, where you can catch them
laughing, dancing and making women look and feel gorgeous. Wendy likes to surround herself with strong women who come together and do great things! Along these lines, she says she would like to thank Dinah Matthews and Jill Reason for asking her to chair her first with Lunar Rendezvous event in 2015. She also is thankful for Mary Williams and Angie Weinman, who taught her the art of fundraising for nonprofits. And, she will quickly tell you she is incredibly grateful to call Ann Wismer not only a friend, but also a mentor through her many life aspirations. Michelle Holland and Kim Woods are invaluable leaders for Wendy by offering immeasurable support, guidance and friendship. “With an organization with such rich history, it takes an incredible board of directors, advisory board, chairpersons and volunteers to make a memorable and historical Lunar Rendezvous,” she points out.
“Now, let’s laugh, have fun and raise some money!” she adds.
