Chehalis Rotary was recently visited by the purveyor of snickerdoodles and similar wares, Callie Carpenter. She shared her story of creating delicious treats for a gluten intolerant family member to a company with world wide distribution.
"It all began with our family and our family’s cookie recipe. You could say life doesn’t get any better when you have a warm chocolate chip cookie in your hand. I mean, how cliche is that? But one day our cliche story took a hard right when we discovered one of our family members suffered from extreme (and we mean extreme) food allergies and intolerances. Right then and there we knew our cookies would have to be completely reinvented, but it would have to be without compromising flavor, texture, and consistency. Honestly, we weren’t sure if this was even possible, but to us it was war. With our family pride on the line, we set out to make a cookie so good and so naturally cookie-ish that you would never be able to tell it was also 100% vegan and gluten-free. Back then, we never imagined we would have the opportunity to sell them to the world."

The Chehalis Rotary Club recently hosted a school supply shopping night for children in the Chehalis School District who are considered homeless. Forty kindergarten through 12th grade students took advantage of the opportunity to pick out their own supplies. On average, each child spent fifty dollars and left the Chehalis Walmart with a big smile and ready to start a new school year. Additional funds will be expended throughout the year to pay for fees and other items that would be difficult for families to cover. With a total of $5,000.00 available, it is expected that up to 100 students will receive resources to help them with their education expenses this school year.
Fundraising proceeds from the Chehalis Rotary Corn Booth and Golf Ball Drop (both held at the SWW Fair), along with a Rotary District 5020 matching grant were used to fund this event.
Once again, the Chehalis Rotary Corn Booth at the SWW Fair proved to be a profitable endeavor for our club. Combined with the 2nd annual golf ball drop and a District 5020 matching grant, we have earned enough seed money to fund back to school shopping for homeless children and scholarships for higher education.
