Hazelnuts

The Hazelnuts is a senior activity organization sponsored by the City of Hazelwood for over 45 years. The Hazelnuts invite all Hazelwood residents age 55 and over to join them! The annual membership dues are $12 per person. The group meets monthly on the second Wednesday of the month at Civic Center East, 8969 Dunn Road, beginning at 10:30 AM. 

The Hazelnuts monthly meeting includes updates on Hazelwood activities and City Council actions. Each month entertainment, speakers, and activities are provided during the meeting. During the past year, speakers have included Police Chief Hudanick, Fire Chief Luley, DePaul Hospital Outreach, and the St. Louis County library. Ms. Barbara Kay reenacted Betsy Ross on Flag Day and Mr. Lamarr Pilsing entertained with vocal music.

Snacks are provided for members January through March. For the last nine months of the year, catered meals from a variety of local restaurants are enjoyed following the entertainment. Members must register and pay for the meal, which costs $12. In December, a holiday party is held which includes a special lunch, bingo and other activities. 

The Parks & Recreation department offers free Senior Bus service to and from Hazelnut meetings. For more information on the Hazelnuts, please contact 314-839-5575.
