A community dinner will be held in honor of Steve Hood at the American Legion building in Electric City on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 3 p.m.

As of last Saturday, Hood is now in the Washington State Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame after a career - and in reality, a lifestyle - of coaching and preparing his athletes to win matches and tackle life's tussles.

In his day job, he taught auto shop for 33 years at Lake Roosevelt High School, but he found time to volunteer in the community after work, too, on the fire department for 40 years and on the city council for 10. He also was a leader in local Boy Scouts of America for six years.

That free dinner will include a main dish, and attendees are encouraged to bring sides, salads, and desserts for a potluck. 

More information can be found by contacting Brittany Cozza, Hood's daughter, at 509-631-2068, or Shelly Jackson at 509-631-0841.
