Presenting the awards from the club were Scholarship Chairman Sue Fardette and President Colleen Janssen. They were joined by Mayor Stacy Berry, also a member of the Woman’s Club of Cypress.

Thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards are presented each year from monies raised at club fundraisers and bequests from deceased members.
“Our newly-installed President, Carole Shaw, has wonderful plans to raise money over the next twelve months to fund scholarships for the coming year,” said Janssen. “Club members are ready to get to work.”
