Celebrating 100 Years at 30366 SW Laurel Road, Hillsboro Oregon 97123
(not a mailing address)
Laurel Community was settled in 1872 south of Hillsboro, Oregon. In 1923, Laurel Community Home Club was formed as a non-profit corporation. In their first meetings, they formed a plan to build a community hall. It was dedicated in February 1924. For nearly 100 years, the Laurel Hall has been available for community and farm meetings, and social gatherings such as meals and dances.
Celebrate 100 Years of the Laurel Hall!
Laurel Neighbors,
We are excited to celebrate the 100 year birthday of the Laurel Hall on February 24th with all of you!
The party will be an open-house format and include delicious appetizers, birthday cake and 2 alcoholic beverages for in the $40 ticket price (we promise no one will go home hungry!!). There will be music, community presentation and a silent auction with all proceeds going towards our efforts to raise $150,000 to make much needed structural, electrical and other updates to the Hall. We want it to last another 100 years and we hope that everyone in the community will be a part of this effort.
RSVPs and pre-purchase of your ticket is very much appreciated, so that we can ensure we have enough food and beverages for everyone! Click HERE to purchase your ticket via our online ticket platform OR you can respond to this email to RSVP and pay by check made out to Laurel Community Home Club.
If you’d like to get involved with the planning of this fun event, we’d love to have a few more volunteers. Our next planning meeting is January 26 at 6:30 PM at the Laurel Hall.
Also- our next quarterly Board meeting is THIS FRIDAY at the Laurel Hall at 6:30 p.m. We’d love to provide you with an update on our restoration efforts, as well as what we have planned for the future of Laurel Hall! Would love to see some of you there.
