🐈‍⬛ Here Kitty Kitty 🐈‍⬛

2 months, 5 clubs, 3 concats, and 14 new members later - the Kitten Kits are heading home!

New members are referred to as "kittens" and after they are concatenated (yes, that's a real word and even a formula for spreadsheets!) and the applications and dues are received at the international office, the Executive Secretary writes their name(s) in the official Concat book, assigns their forever member number, prints certificates, welcome letters, etc, and packs it all up with their official black cat lapel pin engraved on the back. It's very special and exciting!

Happy 134th Birthday Hoo-Hoo 🥳

On January 21, 1892 in Gurdon, Arkansas, the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo was dreamed up by six men waiting on a delayed train. It soon came to fruition and we became international in the 1920's!

Still going strong, we keep the traditions of holding an annual convention every September, we honor the importance of the number 9 every opportunity we get, and our clubs are comprised of quality men and women who care about their communities and advocate for the Forest products industry.

Visit our website to learn more!

The International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is one of the world's oldest service organizations, having been organized in 1892. That it has survived all these years is due to the fact that its members are interested in the welfare and promotion of the forest products industry.

Bring your appetite—the steaks are delicious!! And bring your wallet to make sure you get your raffle tickets. Someone will be taking home a large screen TV as the Grand Prize! See you there.
