About Us:

Winnebago County HCE was established in 1938.  We currently have 79 members that belong to 8 units spread throughout Winnebago County. Our purpose is to educate our members on a wide variety of topics and provide opportunities for fellowship and personal growth. The members volunteer in a wide range of venues, both within and outside our organization. Our Annual Meeting is held in June and our officers take office in July. We meet for a Cultural Arts/International Day in the fall. We welcome guests and new members to these events and to our monthly meetings.  Please contact us for more information including times and dates of our meetings.
