Chamber of Service turns
organization not only raises funds
and makes grants, but also helps
nonprofits with other services,
leadership training and planning,"
Sheldon said.
FRED CORBETT, executive
director of the Mason County Se-
nior Activities Center, said the
Chamber of Service has been a
wonderful sharing experience.
'The Chamber of Service is a
forum for sharing resources and
knowledge that helps strengthen
the nonprofit businesses, and
thereby enhances the services pro-
vided to this community," added
Sherri Dysart, executive director
of Mason County United Way.
In fact, word of the Chamber of
Service has spread beyond Mason
County. In February, participants
in Bastyr University's Leader-
ship Institute of Seattle chose the
Chamber of Service for a class
project. This training program
includes professionals from orga-
nizations and agencies worldwide
who attend quarterly working ses-
sions at the Harmony Hill retreat
center in Union.
Within the county, chamber
members have been able to help
meet each other's needs. An ex-
ample of this neighbor-to-neigh-
bor approach was when the Mason
County Veterans Service Office
voiced its need for office supplies
and a computer. Two other cham-
ber members stepped forward to
provide the needed office supplies
The Mason County Chamber of
Service is celebrating its first an-
niversary. Originally formed as
the Nonprofit Alliance in October
2006, the Chamber of Service is
made up primarily of social service
nonprofits in Mason County.
The organization is the brain-
child of Sue Sheldon, founder of
the Save Our County's Kids Youth
Center, and Kim Klint, executive
director of Mason Matters. They
came together a year ago and
agreed that local social service
nonprofits could better serve their
clients by joining forces in an orga-
nized network. Even though mem-
bership in the group is primarily
from the social service arena, the
Chamber of Service is open to all
nonprofits.
"Those of us working in non-
profit organizations are in a dif-
ferent world than commercial
business people. A business per-
son provides goods and services in
exchange for payment, while we
nonprofits provide goods and ser-
vices mostly at no cost, and then
need to find a third party to pay
for them. This is why we're always
looking for funding sources, writ-
ing grants and holding fund-rais-
ers," Sheldon said.
"THE CHAMBER of Service
lets us share opportunities for
training, for acquiring needed
supplies and equipment and for
hearing how others do their work
and to learn from that. It gives us
a chance to help each other do our
jobs better," she continued.
Sheldon, who chairs the Cham-
ber of Service meetings, said the
organization's first year featured
several valuable workshops and
expert presenters, including San-
di Kvarnstrom of Mason County
Emergency Management, Norraa
Schuiteman of the Community
Foundation of South Puget Sound,
Bob Bottman, a grant writer for
the SOCK Youth Center, and Matt
Hornyak, program manager of the
regional 211 program, among oth-
ers.
"What we've found is that our
members and supporters are real-
ly the experts, and the Chamber of
Service provides the opportunity
for us to share this expertise," she
added.
"A good example is Norma
Schuiteman, who attended a re-
cent meeting to learn more about
the Chamber of Service, and how
her foundation can support cham-
ber members. We learned that her

From 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, No-

auction, along with a comedy rou-

of Shelton, 428 West Cota Street
in downtown Shelton.
Doors will open for ticket sales
at 6:30 p.m. Admission will be by
donation, with suggested contribu-

1 pint half and half
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and boil them
in a large pot until tender. Save a
little of the potato broth, strained
with some of the clam and mussel
juice, too - optional.
Boil celery separately and drain
off all juice. Dice up the bacon into
really small pieces and cook until
not too crispy. Save the grease for
flavor. Add celery, bacon and on-
ions to the big pot.
Pour in milk and half and half,
season liberally with salt and pep-
per and let simmer to allow the
flavors to come through - cooking
over low heat or in a crock pot for
about an hour.
clam chowder. It isn't like the
chowder you get in the restau-
rants I have experienced. I don't
serve big chunks of clams, nor a
thick creamy soup. My chowder
looks and feels more like chicken
noodle soup than like traditional
chowder, but it definitely has the
wonderful clam taste. Try it; you'll
most likely like it," he says.
Since he gets his seafood for free
by digging shellfish off his beach,
the list of ingredients doesn't cost
him very much at all. Quantities
called for in this recipe make "a
big bucket or two."
Clam Chowder
Ingredients:
3 C. large, fresh horse clams, thor-
oughly cleaned until just the
white meat remains, diced into
pea-size chunks
3 C. fresh clams, precooked in open
shells
1 C. clean, fresh mussels, sliced in
half if large
5-6 large potatoes, sliced into 2-

5 sticks celery, sliced slightly

At least 1/2 lb. bacon
1/2 C. onion, finely chopped

Larry belongs to the local chap-
ter of Sons of the American Legion,
the 11-11 Club and the 40 et 8 vet-
erans club, as well as other commu-
nity organizations. He organized a
volunteer veterans group to offer
walks through memorials around
the capitol campus in Olympia,
giving talks at each of the monu-
ments and explaining the history
and significance behind them.
One of his great passions in life
are classic cars. He owns a 1976
Corvette Stingray, a 1955 Stude-
baker, a 1953 International and
a 1977 Chevy 4x4 - all in "project
stages" right now. Previously a
Chevrolet dealer near Hood Ca-
nal, Larry used to drive a blue and
white 1955 Chevy. "I've worked on
a lot of cars in my life. Cars are a
hobby of mine," he says.
Larry, who designed his own
home - even the kitchen - also
developed his own clam chowder
recipe. Before he retired, he used
to bring it to work and treat his
staff to it.

making clam chowder lovers out
