Hoodland Women’s Club enjoys the season of giving

Lori Neely, HWC Vice President, models a wrap for sale at the HWC craft booth at Mount Hood Villages in December.

The Hoodland Women’s Club celebrated the season on Dec. 15 with a festive holiday party at Alpine Events. The donation table piled high as the night progressed, with members bringing canned food and unwrapped gifts for teenagers to give to the Holiday Baskets for our community.

“Seeing the donation table fill up was a beautiful reminder of what this group is capable of when we come together,” said Marketing Chair Kim Anzarut.

“The party was filled with great food, festive cheer, and the kind of camaraderie that reminds us how lucky we are to live in and serve this incredible mountain community.”

Holiday craft fairs were another great opportunity for HWC women to contribute their love, talents, and spirit to the Hoodland Community. HWC had booths at the Christmas Bazaar at the Resort at the Mountain and at the Night Market at Mount Hood Villages. The crafts group had a wide range of Christmas decorations, ornaments and gifts of all kinds for sale. Crafts chair Anne High said the proceeds will go to HWC’s Community Fund for supporting our Hoodland neighbors.
