brought to you by Champagne Sponsor Melanie Bakala, State Farm Insurance
90 years ago, many things took place
Eskimos pies were created and the first woman won a Senator’s race
And believe it or not, nine decades hence
The Shelton Mason Chamber of Commerce did commence
Changes abound since the Chamber’s inception
And the year of 2011 was certainly no exception
Early on in the year a new Chamber Exec we heeded
We looked high and low and saw Heidi was what we needed
She brought along Deidre, office manager extraordinaire,
And with their efforts the Chamber has been on a tear
A new logo and a newsletter was hailed
Plus shop local with local bucks were unveiled
At our first annual tournament, golfers looked to score
And the SAVER group focused on the downtown business core
Numerous businesses joined as new members to our group
Please stand so we can see you, welcome to the troop
There are dozens of folks who volunteer
They serve on the committees and boards that help steer
Lisa Woodard, who’s leaving our board, and Patti our president of past,
We thank you for the accomplishments you have amassed
To new board member Patti Tupper and President Drew,
We look forward to your leadership and to your new posts welcome you!
Remarkable years were had by many of our peers,
Heritage Bank Celebrated 50 years
A new leader is at the helm at Harmony Hill
Hood Canal Adventures held their second Geocache drill
The Mason area Fair was a good time for all
While the 30th OysterFest was a hit in the fall
We were treated to Opera and Messiah by Anna’s Bay
And Forrest Cooper lit up our downtown way
Each of you, please raise your glass
To our goals for the future and feats of the past
Let’s each of us give abundant cheers
to another fabulous 90 years
