Heidi
President
Hi, Heidi here. The MWC president. I’m so grateful to be a part of this group. My passion for it remains strong. As one of the founding members in 2015, I hope to help it keep growing and growing. I’ve lived in Monee since 2003 with my family and hubby of 35+ years (!) and I have 3 incredible sons, 2 doggos, and a kitty. I enjoy wine, long walks on the beach… but I do! Also love gardening, volunteering, and if I win the lottery, I will open an animal sanctuary in a heartbeat. Enjoy every minute you spend with MWC – it’s worth it!
Rachel
Vice President
Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm the Monee Women's Club Vice-President. I'm a Mom, a Gram, and Dog-Mom as well! I love watching movies, reading as well as having fun with my family and friends.
​
I enjoy being a part of MWC because it gives me the chance to meet new people and to become part of a community.

JoAnn
Secretary
Hi! My name is JoAnn. I've lived in Monee for 7+ years. I found MWC on Facebook and couldn't wait to make new friends. Not only was I welcomed immediately, I've also made friends for life, and now, I'm the Secretary! I am semi-retired, still working 3 days a week. I have been married 40+ years, 2 grown sons and 2 adorable grandsons who are my life. They make everything better. In my spare time I love to papercraft. Making cards, albums, journals, and doing Bible journaling, it is my passion. I also love to read. I love volunteering with MWC, it's been a joy in life. Meeting so many people and helping those in need. I sure hope you join us! You will not be disappointed!
​Claire
Treasurer
Adventurous, jumps on opportunities, lives life to the fullest going on trips making memories with loved ones, loves baking – these are just a few ways people would describe me!

“We should be lifting each other up and cheering each other on, not trying to outshine one another. The sky would be awfully dark with just one star.” ~ Stacie Martin
​
This quote captures MWC. We are a group of ladies uplifting ladies and our community. As the MWC Online Communications Director, my goal is to encourage ladies to have fun, live their best lives, be themselves, and to work self-care in. I enjoy photography, painting, gardening, crafting, reading, and playing board, card, and dice games. I also love nerdy and random things. And I LOVE cats!
Let's talk FUN!

to our community, but it is also about
building relationships among the ladies of
Monee. Some of our outings have included:
