Golden Age Hobby House Renovation

Class XVII devoted countless time and energy to renovate the Golden Age Hobby House, a senior center in the Third Ward. Renovations included clearing the second floor of the house so the space was again usable, landscaping, roof repairs, painting and decorating. In addition, the class acquired donations such as computers, printers, games and hobby projects. But not all of the improvements were physical. To ensure the continued maintenance of the house, Class XVII held training sessions with the Hobby House Board to address funding strategies and opportunities. The project culminated in a ribbon cutting ceremony held at the house and attended by Leadership Houston members, media and Houston city dignitaries.
