Central Oregon’s lumber and building products community is ready to come together once again and launch a new regional chapter of Hoo-Hoo International, the 133-year-old lumbermen's fraternity.
The proposed Central Oregon Hoo-Hoo Club is open to lumber wholesalers, builders, retailers and other professionals in the building industry.
“In their prime, Central Oregon’s Hoo-Hoo chapters were dynamic hubs where industry professionals connected, shared expertise, and drove innovation in the lumber and plywood markets,” noted Ryan Stembridge, Pelican Bay Forest Products, Bend, Or. “By rebuilding a unified chapter, we can create a powerful network to support industry growth, foster new opportunities, and strengthen our community’s role in the building products sector”.
To launch the revival, the organizers need passionate businesses and individuals from the lumber, plywood, and broader building industries to step up. They have started compiling a list of interested parties to form the foundation of the chapter. Together, they will elect leaders and plan engaging events, including networking gatherings, educational workshops, golf outings, and dining events tailored to the industry’s needs.
