February 2019 brought a snowstorm! Usually you would see several members of the Hudson Women's Club in this picture, singing "Valentine" songs for the residents of the Christian Community Home in Hudson. This year, the snow kept everyone away .... well, almost everyone. Carol Dahle and Cynthia Anderson were able to get there! Carol played the piano and sang Valentine love songs for 1/2 hour, while Cynthia set up the food and beverages for a lovely social time with the residents after the music program. :) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Artful Garden Tour - June 2019
The Hudson Women's Club hosted their annual Garden Tour on June 29th & 30th. The garden tour supports the beautiful hanging baskets in lovely downtown Hudson. This year the Hudson Trolley was part of the event, where you didn't have to worry about driving yourself, you just hopped on board for a fun ride with friends to all of the gardens!
The Trolley ride was so much fun, we'll be doing it next year, too!
