What does “hosting” a murder mystery and “solving” a murder mystery have in common? DORIS HOPPER, OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF FUN. As a former police detective from El Paso, Doris knows her way around a good mystery, but she’s also developed some serious street cred in the event planning arena. After 23 years with the police, Doris came to the Houston area to live closer to her daughter. Since the move, she worked with The Woodlands Neighborhood Services hosting events, sharing safety tips and more. Doris will be working on-site, so feel free to stop by the Coventry model to say hello. Have You Met Your New Director of Fun? No Foolin’ — April is going to be FUN!
