History of Hudson Senior Citizens
Established in 1967, the organization's object and purpose is:
To provide activities for senior citizens which are entertaining, stimulating and affordable. The activities to be selected will be such that the demand on physical strength, hearing and seeing will permit the majority of the membership to participate. To inspire and promote good fellowship among all members, and through cards or visitation, give sympathy and compassion to members who are too ill to attend meetings.
The organization continues to thrive today.
