Copperfield Women’s Club
Women Serving the Community
Due to a very exciting and successful year, the Copperfield Women’s Club will change it’s name to the Cy-Fair Women’s Club! Membership to our club is open to all ladies in the Northwest Houston neighborhoods. We look forward to sharing an adventurous new year with new members from the Copperfield area, as well as the entire Cy-Fair area. Our name change will take place as of January 1, 2012. If you are not familiar with our club, we are a service organization that gives back to the community. All funds raised will go right back to the community in scholarships for graduating high school seniors, at Lone Star College, Cy-Fair and grants to other nonprofits in our community, as well. Currently we meet the first Thursday of most months at West Houston Church of Christ at 7:00p.m. for social time and refreshments, followed by a program at 7:30p.m. The church is located at Queenston and West Road. If there are any adventurous ladies out there, that love to have fun and would like to participate in giving back to the community, we encourage you to come join us! Our monthly meetings are not only educational and enjoyable, but they develop lasting fellowships. We look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions about our club or need directions to the church, please contact Susan McLeroy, Membership Chair at sudomac@comcast.net. Submitted by Rosie Serrano-Garcia

The meeting lasted for one and a half hours, with the end result being in the long run Commissioner Radack will look into the situation and evaluate what can be done. In the short run, he sent out his crews to the intersection that same day (11/9/11) to survey and excavate sod on both north and south sides of Longenbaugh to install shrubbery and trees in an attempt to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
