Celebrate love and community at the Hoodland Women’s Club Sweetheart’s Ball! The Hoodland Women’s Club invites you to an enchanting evening of fun, food, and festivities at their second annual Sweetheart’s Ball. Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 13, and join the celebration at Alpine Events from 7 to 10 p.m. Whether attending as a couple or flying solo, this 21-and-over event promises an unforgettable night. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress in cocktail attire. The evening will feature a DJ, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar, so come ready to dance, mingle and savor the vibrant atmosphere.
The Sweetheart’s Ball, which originated in 1964, was the Hoodland Women’s Club’s first fundraiser. Attendees gathered at Barlow Trail from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with a recommended donation of $1. Revived last year in honor of the club’s 60th anniversary, the event brought new life to a cherished tradition. This revival was so well received that the club plans to make it an annual affair.
Proceeds from the Sweetheart’s Ball directly support the Hoodland Women’s Club’s Community Giving Programs, which provide vital assistance to the Hoodland area. These initiatives include scholarships for local high school seniors and a newly established scholarship for adults (21+) pursuing continued education or training. The Community Fund Program offers financial aid to neighbors to help cover rent, utilities, food, healthcare and other basic needs. Additionally, the club organizes free community events such as CPR/First Aid Training and childcare services. Donations are also made to local organizations, including the Hoodland Library, Meals on Wheels, Hoodland Senior Center, Welches PTCO, Mt. Hood Unida and more to ensure a wide-reaching impact on the community.
Tickets are $35 per person and are available now at hoodlandwomensclub.org. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door, but early purchases are strongly encouraged to make sure they have ample food and drink for everyone. While no sponsorships are planned this year, the Hoodland Women’s Club extends heartfelt gratitude to Alpine Events for hosting this celebration and many others in their support of the club’s efforts.
Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate love, community and a cause that makes a real difference. Grab your tickets, dress up in your favorite cocktail attire, and prepare for a night of joy at the Sweetheart’s Ball. Whether dancing with a partner or meeting new friends, this event promises to leave you with lasting memories and a deeper connection to our community.
