Gornick celebrates lOOth birthday
Dorothy Clark Gomick was
born and raised on Nantucket
Island, Mass. on Sept. I, 1911.
She attended Simmons Col-
lege, the first women's college
in the United States end grad-
uated in 1932.
She met, fell in love and was
courted by a young Navy man
named Jerry Clark. He said
"marry me end we will travel
the world" end so they did, to
many exotic places, amassing
many lifelong friends.
Upon Jerry's retire-
ment, they purchased 20
acres in Allyn, on Sherwood
Creek.
This was at the urging of
friends who said they must
see the Pacific Northwest.
Their place was a "visitor's de-
light." Jerry died in 1955.
Dorothy worked at the Allyn
Post Office from 1950 to 1960.
In 1960, she met and mar-
fled Tony Gornick who en-
hanced the
20 acres
with all
kinds of
carvings
end inter-
esting sites.
It became
too much so
they moved
Dorothy to a Shel-
Gornick ton mobile
park in
1994. Tony
passed in 1999.
Dorothy is the author of
"Fiity Years on Sherwood
Creek Valley," which is avail-
able at the Mason County
Historical Society.
Dorothy is still active and
is well-cared for. She recently
came home from a stay at a
convalescent center end feels
she will not be up to receiving
guests on her birthday and re-
quests cards or a phone call.
Community Network Board Meeting to be held
The Mason Community Network
Board invites community members
to come to the meeting from 12:15
to 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 6 to discuss
the efforts and opportunities asso-
ciated with the public health and
safety network activities.
Family Policy Council funds the
networks with the purpose of ad-
dressing needs in critical problem
areas that affect the community's
youth and families.
Based on data and impact op-
portunities, the Mason Community
Network selected school drop out
and child neglect and abuse as its
two focus areas. These areas were
based upon the community work
completed in 2003 at the network's
children, youth and family summit.
During the past seven years, the
community network has partnered
with Education School District 113
on a student success initiative with
wrap-around services for at-risk
youths and their families. Many
other community partners have
joined this countywide effort.
The network board is reviewing
the 2009-11 outcomes and mak-
ing recommendations for 2012-13
investments. Interested commu-
nity members are invited to join
the discussion. The meeting will
be held at Mason County Public
Health, 415 N Sixth Street, Shel-
ton, WA 98584. Questions can be
directed to Kim Klint at 427-9670
ext. 543.
