The major annual fundraiser for the Hoodland Women’s Club (HWC) is just a few weeks away and last-minute details are being nailed down. This year’s 20th annual benefit golf tournament will be Thursday, August 15, at the Mt. Hood Oregon Resort. Those interested in registering for the shotgun scramble can find registration forms on the HWC website. Registration deadline is Monday, August 5. The $120/person fee ($95 for those with an annual golf pass at the Resort) includes green fees, cart, golf prizes and lunch provided by Busy Bee Catering or Mogul Mountain Pizza. Tee time will be 8:30 a.m. Registration forms are available at www.hoodlandwomensclub.org.
The tournament will be followed by lunch and an auction/raffle at approximately 2 p.m. Even those who don’t golf are invited to join the golfers for the auction and raffle. Auction items include Mountain Lodging, the ever popular Dinner for Six at Six, and a home wine tasting experience. A multitude of themed baskets ranging from everything needed for top-of-the-line margaritas to kitchen essentials will be awarded to holders of winning raffle tickets. Those wanting to purchase lunch to attend the auction can fill out the golfer registration form listing their name as a golfer and selecting “lunch only.”
This year marks the tournament’s first ever diamond level sponsor ($2,500 sponsorship), All County Real Estate (ACRE), owned by HWC member Adriane Bovero. HWC extends a huge “thank you” not only to ACRE, but to its gold, silver and bronze level sponsors (see the Club’s ad, flyer and Facebook page for a complete list) as well as all the members of the Hoodland Community who have played a part in helping this year’s tournament raise funds for local scholarships and other community needs.
Gold-level sponsors include FreeUp Storage Facilities, Evergreen Home Loans, Sandy Decor and the Karen and Ed Bassett Fund; Becca Kolibaba Real Estate, Inc., Mountain Life Clinic, And Welches Smoke & Vape. Gifts, Hoodland Bazaar, Clackamas County Bank, The Mountain Cru, Thriftway, Mt. Hood Cannabis Company, Mike and Carol Stout, Ever Fresh Fruit Company, Sandy Grocery Outlet, Safeway, Whistle Stop, Allay Consulting and Skyway will all be silver-level sponsors. In addition, a number of local individuals and businesses are bronze-level sponsors.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, HWC grew its membership by 12% and financially contributed to multiple community concerns, including financial support for six individual neighbors in need, Meals on Wheels, Welches Schools, Mt. Hood Unida and Neighborhood Missions. In addition, members contributed time and talents to a multitude of local organizations and fundraising activities ranging from Adopt-A-Road to the Hoodland Block Parties.
HWC Members have not only supported community needs, but participated in a number of social activities. The most recent of these was a “Hobby Mixer” on July 18 where club and community members shared expertise with other hobbyists.
Those interested in becoming HWC members can join via our newly updated HWC website. Dues are $25 per year. The next general meeting will be in September, but members will gather from 3-5 p.m. August 5 at Wildwood Recreation Area for the Club’s annual picnic. Anyone interested in learning more about HWC in an informal setting is invited to attend.
