The event raises funds for local scholarships and the HWC Community Fund, which is used to help address individual and community needs.Those interested in donating funds or requesting help can find additional information on the HWC website at www.hoodlandwomensclub.org/charitable-giving/. HWC extends a big “thank you” to Pat with Sight and Sound Services, who helped make an informational video (found on the website) about the fund.
Although preparations for the golf tournament are front and center, HWC has also sponsored or contributed to a number of springtime events for the Hoodland Community and HWC members. One of these will take place on Saturday, June 22 when HWC partners with the Hoodland Senior Center to offer free or reduced-cost Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED training to community members.
On April 6, HWC joined Luna & Craft in hosting a goal setting workshop for members.That same day, HWC supported a Mt. Hood Livability Coalition Candidates Forum so Hoodland residents had a chance to hear from candidates for nonpartisan county positions on the May ballot.
On April 20, HWC and Mt. Hood Flowers hosted a bouquet making event at which attendees learned fundamentals of bouquet design and color theory using seasonal flowers. Those attending also enjoyed a selection of pastries provided by Mt. Hood Baking Company. Space was provided by Luna & Craft. Watch for information about additional floral classes later this year. The floral theme continued May 18 when community members picked up petunia, million bells, and mixed variety flower baskets purchased through HWC’s annual flower basket sale.
On May 11, HWC crafters showed off their work at the Hoodland Block Party hosted by Cooper’s. These women have been creating items weekly under the direction of member Anne High and will also sell the results of their work at upcoming holiday craft fairs.
