It is one of the great gifts for Talbot County that so many capable leaders have come to this region and invested so much volunteer time with its nonprofit institutions. And there is no better example of this than Karen Shook’s role with the St. Michaels Community Center for the last six years.
Coming from Washington, DC, where she not only was a well-established and respected news producer but spent eight years on the District of Columbia’s School Board, Karen Shook is well trained in getting things done. That is clearly apparent as one looks at her tenure as a board member and president of St. Michaels most important community service organization.
In her interview with the Spy, Karen talks about the number of ways in which the SMCC plays a vital role in providing recreational and health services to the Bay One Hundred community’s children and adults. She also talks with enthusiasm for the organization’s long-term plans to renovate their existing building and adding more resources for programming, but her first priority is to make the St. Michaels Community Center’s first ever Clambake event, hosting by her and her husband, Langley, former president of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, at there home this weekend.
