Contributing to Our Community With a Gala, Crafts and More

HWC members enjoyed a shady picnic together on a hot afternoon Tuesday, Aug. 11 at Wildwood. New club officers talked about plans for fundraising and community action in the upcoming year.The HWC craft group had its handmade crafts on display and for sale.

Meet the HWC Craft Group at the Hoodland Block party this month 

The HWC craft group’s products will be on sale again this month at the Hoodland Block Party on Saturday, September 6th at Cooper’s Wine Bar in the Hoodland Shopping Center. If you’ve not yet attended one of these well-loved local events, imagine an art show featuring all handmade goods, live local music, wine and beer tastings, food specials, lawn games, and wonderful community vibes. This is the last block party of the year, so don’t miss it.

The HWC craft group meets weekly in members’ homes. One member takes responsibility for instructions and materials for that week’s craft, then everyone creates their own beautiful versions. 

“We love the creativity and camaraderie of getting together every week,” said craft chairperson Ann High, “and it’s really gratifying to be able to contribute to the Hoodland Women’s Club’s community giving, through sales of those products.” Last year the craft group netted $2,000 for HWC’s community fund selling products at community events and bazaars. Nice results for crafts made at a kitchen table every week.

Adopt-a-Road and more coming up

The HWC Fall Adopt-a-Road cleanup will be September 30th. Twice each year, HWC members volunteer their time to clean up and spruce up the section of Salmon Creek Road from Highway 26 up to Welches Road. We’ll report on that next month.

Also stay tuned in October for information on HWC’s ability to give more back to the community.
