President's Message
Dear Members,
The Meadows Home and Garden Club began with a firm foundation 49
years ago. Its strength has come from the people who willingly gave their time,
energy and talent to help guide and strengthen the Club through the years.
Through 2019-2020 we will continue the forward momentum of the Meadows
Home and Garden Club as we increase membership growth in ways that touch
our homes, our community, and our environment.
There are challenges ahead as we strive to meet goals. However, I am
confident that with executive board leadership, active membership
participation, and new recruits ready to join our Club, we too, will focus
time, energy and talent to strengthen the purpose of Meadows Home and
Garden Club. Our active combined efforts will accomplish much for the
organization in 2019-2020.
Kay M. Ewing, President

Brief History of the Club
Meadows Place began as the Meadows Municipal Utility District, established in 1967. In 1968, the first houses were constructed. In January of 1970, the first business meeting of "The Meadows Garden Club" took place. In attendance were Deanie Winstel, Janell East, Barbara Groves, Sylvia Miller, Carolyn Clear, Jan Van Buskirk, Virginia Manfrey, and Arlene Davitt. It was at this meeting that the group decided to meet on the second Tuesday of each month, the same day the meetings continue to this day. In 1982 the Club was incorporated under the name "Meadows Home and Garden Club."
The City incorporated on November 14, 1983 as "The Meadows" to avoid being annexed by Houston. The City changed its name to "Meadows Place" in 2000 as requested by the US Postal Service because of its inability to distinguish us from Meadows, Texas, despite the varying zip codes. The Club, however, continues to go by its name of incorporation.
