The Chamber’s Breakfast Connections has always been one of our member favorites as it is the only business connection event that allows you the opportunity to learn about every member’s business in attendance.
Each month we provide a theme that members are encouraged to incorporate into their commercial and a Creative Commercial Winner is announced at the end of the breakfast.
August was National Dog Month, so our theme asked members to tell us their favorite type of dog and why and try to relate the breed to their business. The themes are always fun and we learn how creative our members can be. We have members that sing (David Deveau, Woodforest Wealth Strategies), members that act/dance (Colette Kerwick and Lauren Serrano, NobleMotion Dance) and members that come up with a very creative and catchy little rhyme (Sean Thompson, Woodlands Online).
Breakfast Connections also offers a Spotlight Sponsor which provides the member with a three-minute video recorded commercial that is shared on social media and an editorial about the business in Business Today. Interested members should contact Cyndi Alvarado – cyndi.alvarado@ woodlandschamber.org for more information.
closed the fiscal year with our Meet the New Members Reception. The event was hosted by New Danville and held at Black Walnut Café.
New Danville is a nonprofit rural community that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those who need similar services. Located on 42 acres in Willis, it was established in 2005 and opened its day habilitation program in 2007; it opened its residential community, Meadowbrook, in 2010. There are currently 110 participants in the day program and 36 residents, with a waiting list of 30.
Clients, affectionately known as Wranglers, live, learn, work and grow to help them reach their potential while enhancing skills, improving self-esteem, learning social skills and more. Day program classes provide a wide range of options ranging from metal detecting to art, animal therapy to woodshop, sign language to computer skills, sewing to gardening and more.
Jazzy Junque, an upscale home décor resale store in the Outlets of Conroe, benefits New Danville, as do two major fundraising events: Play a Round for the Wranglers (Nov. 7)
and Spring Thing (April). Items made by the Wranglers can be purchased at Jazzy Junque or from the online store at New Danville’s web site, NewDanville.org.
Helping Wranglers hold appropriate jobs is a high priority at New Danville. Some Wranglers work in the community and several work on site. Thanks to a unique collaboration with Charbonneau Industries, Wranglers produce pallets for the company in their “Pallets to Partners” program. To date, Wranglers have made more than 6,000 pallets for the company.
In April, New Danville released an original music video for a song written by two staff members. “Wranglers’ Ballad” can be found at Ballad.NewDanville.org.

The C.A.R.E.S. Committee met in August and reviewed a number of community service project applications. “We always enjoy learning more about each nonprofit during the application process and it is always difficult to choose which projects are chosen and which are not. We have to take into consideration what the request is and determine if our participation will make an impact. Then we have to narrow down by month and see which dates are flexible”, stated Corinne Coulter, Education for Tomorrow Alliance and Team Lead for the Chamber’s C.A.R.E.S. Committee.
The team’s selections are as follows:
SEP | Kailee Mills Foundation Drive to Save Lives Golf Tournament
OCT | New Danville Halloween Party for The Wranglers
NOV | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Children’s Festival: Under the Sea
DEC | Montgomery County Food Bank Stock the Sleigh
JAN | Interfaith of The Woodlands Serving Congregate Meals to Seniors

We continue to encourage all those that applied to join us the first Wednesday of each month at 3:00 p.m. We end every meeting with a nonprofit round table discussion, where our nonprofitmembers are able to share what is going on in their organization. It’s a great opportunity for our members to connect with an individual in the room or a company that is looking to serve others.
If you are looking to serve others, consider joining the team. For more information, contact Cyndi Alvarado, Vice President of Membership at Cyndi.alvarado@woodlandschamber.org.
