professionals is able to assist guests on any project – from refreshing a room to an entire home remodel. In-store design services are always complimentary.
Of particular note is the remarkable assortment of outdoor living designs. Outdoor entertaining in nature-centric areas like The Woodlands has never been more important.

To celebrate National Volunteer Month each April, The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce’s C.A.R.E.S. Committee hosts The Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. The annual themed luncheon is an exclusive event for the Chamber’s nonprofit organization members to recognize their amazing contributions and impact on the community. This year’s “You Lift Us Up!” theme celebrated the everyday heroes who lift up others in moments of need and elevate those without a voice.
This year's luncheon featured words of wisdom from Keynote Speaker Kristine Marlow, President & CEO, Montgomery County Food Bank. In keeping with the event’s spirit of generosity and service, food donations were collected to help the food bank restock their pantry.
A heartfelt thank you to Presenting Sponsor Capital One Café for making this important event possible and for their continued support of the community. We are grateful for the generosity of all our amazing sponsors.

At our May Business Advocacy Council meeting, we were pleased to host two distinguished speakers: Melanie Bush, Montgomery County Treasurer, and Melisa Miller, Montgomery County District Clerk.
Attendees gained meaningful insight into the responsibilities and impact of each office. Melisa Miller explained her role as the custodian of all court pleadings and documents related to civil and criminal cases in the district courts. She also discussed overseeing the county’s jury operations and working closely with 14 district judges to ensure court processes run smoothly.
Melanie Bush outlined her responsibilities in managing all accounts receivable for county funds, including oversight of deposits and investments. As County Treasurer, she also oversees all disbursements—ranging from accounts payable and jury compensation to payroll and quarterly payments to the state.
The session offered a valuable look into the essential functions these offices perform in supporting judicial efficiency and maintaining the county’s financial integrity.
Innovation Council Meeting
At our May Innovation Council meeting, Eric Fishhaut, President of MKB Services, led an engaging pitch workshop focused on the art of business storytelling and clearly communicating value to attract capital, customers, and talent.
Kudos to everyone who stepped out of their comfort zones to test their one-minute pitches in front of the group. Several participants also received personalized coaching during the session, further honing their delivery and messaging.
In addition, the Council heard from a representative of Tech Fest Live, a nonprofit dedicated to creating STEM opportunities for underserved youth.
Looking ahead, our next Innovation Council meeting will take place on June 10 and will include a recap of the pitch process, along with a pitch practice workshop and experts offering immediate coaching and feedback.
