About Us
The Hoodland Senior Center began as an idea of Reva Cox, of the Community Schools Organization in Welches in November 1976. On February 8, 1977, with the help of Louise O’Dea the first potluck luncheon was held at the Hoodland Lions Club in Wemme with coffee supplied by the Sandy Senior Group. There were 32 people in attendance at the first potluck and 52 people at the second.
Purpose
The purpose of the Hoodland Senior Center (HSC) is to serve the needs of anyone 60 years of age or older. However, in some cases services may be extended to individuals under the age of 60 years who are experiencing a short or long-term disability. The HSC service area is limited to the greater Hoodland area, defined as that area between Alder Creek and Government Camp, to include the villages of Welches, Rhododendron, Brightwood, and Zigzag.
It is our goal to develop and maintain an active senior citizen program in the Hoodland area that provides opportunities and creates an atmosphere that encourages older adults to use their skills, develop their potential, and continue their involvement in the community.

History
The Hoodland Senior Center began as an idea of Reva Cox, of the Community Schools Organization in Welches in November 1976. On February 8, 1977, with the help of Louise O’Dea the first potluck luncheon was held at the Hoodland Lions Club in Wemme with coffee supplied by the Sandy Senior Group. There were 32 people in attendance at the first potluck and 52 people at the second.
The Superintendent of Welches School, Mr. Calhoun, attended both potlucks and invited the seniors to attend a lunch on Thursdays at the school. From that point on there was no stopping this original group of volunteers. Potluck luncheons became a monthly event, they became a satellite of the Sandy Senior Center and were featured in their monthly newsletter.
