Women & Wine on Wednesdays was created by Linda Brewster Meffert in early 2005 in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a way for women to improve lifestyle balance by re-connecting with friends, making new acquaintances, and being open to develop new ideas and relationships.
Christy Hackenberg and Gaby Tillero created the branding for the concept, after mutual friend, Sandra Lombana introduced them to Linda Meffert. The four women founded the New Orleans location in 2005.
Over the years, many women in many cities have come to enjoy this same opportunity made available by the expansion of Women & Wine on Wednesdays into cities around the country.

About Women & Wine on Wednesdays
The founders of The Woodlands Women & Wine on Wednesdays
would like to personally welcome you to join the next event.
Theresa Morgan Pawn Kongkosonkichkan
Pawn Kongkosonkichkan is the founder of The Woodlands Women & Wine on Wednesday chapter. She has been a resident of The Woodlands since November 2003. A Native of Southern California and a past resident of Atlanta, Georgia, Pawn chose to live in The Woodlands because of the gorgeous landscape, serenity and because the community was friendly and welcoming. “There are incredibly generous and great people in The Woodlands and I wanted to bring professional women of the community together, in this forum, to connect with one another- to share ideas, to make new acquaintances and to build lasting friendships.” “The Woodlands has become my home and I wanted to do something good for the women of the community.“
Professionally, Pawn is an Account Manager and Career Coach for Genesys Works. She assists inner-city high school seniors in Houston break through barriers and discover through meaningful work experience that they can succeed as professionals in the corporate world. In her personal time, Pawn is a Big Sister for the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. In June of 2009, she was awarded Big Sister of the Year for the Montgomery County Region. “Being a Big Sister is truly an honor. Spending time with my Little Sister and mentoring her is my pleasure. I think that I get more out of our relationship than she.” Pawn continues to seek out new ways to connect people in the community. Stay tuned for what is next!
Theresa Morgan is originally from Brandywine, Maryland, and moved to Texas in 2006. Her search for a home brought her to The Woodlands with all the wonderful trees and green spaces. Instantly it was the perfect fit, beautiful tall pines, plenty of parks and walking trails to enjoy with her German shepherd, Dallas. Theresa joined Devon Aviation at David Wayne Hooks Airport in Spring, Texas. She is responsible for Cessna single-engine aircraft sales in the greater Houston territory. In addition to flying, Theresa is passionate about giving back to the community. She serves as a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and is rewarded every time she shares time with her Little Sister, Emma. Her love for animals led her to the Humane Society of Montgomery County where she volunteers as an adoption counselor, helping homeless pets find new loving forever homes. For the last two years, Theresa has walked in the 2 day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. This new tradition has become an annual occurrence in her life.
When Pawn suggested bringing Woman and Wine on Wednesdays to The Woodlands, Theresa was immediately onboard! She couldn’t think of a better way to meet other professional women making a difference in their world and community.

If you would like a special way to reach out to the women at an upcoming Women & Wine on Wednesday event, please let us know and we'll be happy to provide more specifics.
Women Bingo
Come experience a unique facilitated icebreaker which provides a fun, efficient way to meet other women by enabling attendees to acquire many direct introductions in a short amount of time using a specially designed program called Women Bingo. It's an easy concept: upon arrival at the event, attendees are offered an envelope. The envelope front has 16 questions a la bingo style, but instead of boxes with numbers, there are boxes with different questions and a place for names on each box. (Example: what is your dream vacation?, your favorite late-night spot?, etc.) Attendees ask each other these questions, then jot the answers and names down in each of the boxes. The first one to complete the Women Bingo card with 16 names shouts "BINGO!" and is awarded with a complimentary bottle of the featured wine, but all the Women Bingo players are winners as they get to take home the perfect tool to building their own personal "good ol' girls network", an excellent source of contacts for whenever a specific need arises, for example for a real estate agent, party planner, stockbroker, tennis pro, etc.
Come Join the Fun!
