In an effort to show appreciation for the early morning commute, Montgomery County United Way recently hosted its leadership donors to free coffee and pastries at The Coffeeshop Company on I-45 just south of Woodlands Parkway.

Warming up a cold, January morning, attendees enjoyed delicious morning brew and an array of sweet muffins and danishes in the eclectic and warm coffee shop environment. For those that wanted to linger a bit, some great networking opportunities presented themselves. The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership CEO, Gil Staley stopped by to mingle among the crowd, as well as MCUW Board of Directors members Peggy Colsman of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company and Rob Koester with Consolidated Communications.

Montgomery County United Way President, Julie Martineau, Vice President of Investor Strategies, Nicole Robinson Gauthier, and several other key staff members were also on hand to greet the leaders and thank them for their support. The Coffeeshop Company graciously provided the venue and donated the coffee and pastries.

MCUW Lone Star Leaders are donors that give $1,000 or more each year. To learn more about Montgomery County United Way or how you can become a Lone Star Leader, contact Nicole Robinson Gauthier, Nicole@mcuw.org or visit www.mcuw.org.
