Shelli Robb-Kahler, a Sequim native and the executive director of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce for three years, said she plans to spend Christmas with her family.
Robb-Kahler says she’s a “proud mom of two awesome, loving, and talented sons – Brady Robb (29) and Colin Kahler (23).” They along with husband/father Marty plan to eat an unconventional Christmas meal this year but keep it low key.
Going into 2015, Robb-Kahler will work with about 450 local businesses through the chamber but before then she’ll answer some Random Questions.
Question 8: What’s your favorite food?
Robb-Kahler: Dark chocolate. It’s satisfying and a guilty pleasure. Plus it’s an excuse to say it’s good for you.
Question 39: Mustaches? Cool or not?
Robb-Kahler: Not. I prefer a clean shaven face.
Question 20: What’s your dream job?
Robb-Kahler: I’d be on staff at a wedding dress shop like Kleinfeld Bridal where I help put people in wedding dresses.
I love it and “Say Yes to the Dress” is one of my favorite shows.
Question 37: Have you been in the newspaper before?
Robb-Kahler: My face appears in it too many times. I’d rather be behind the camera.
Bonus Question 1: What’s your favorite meal on Christmas?
Robb-Kahler: Since we eat a pretty ordinary meal on Thanksgiving, my sons and I love doing a meal out of the ordinary for Christmas. For the second year it’s a Hispanic theme with things like chicken enchiladas and pork mole (mo-lay).
Question 9: What’s the last thing you read?
Robb-Kahler: “The Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce policy and procedures guidelines” again.
Bonus Question 2: If you could shape shift into anyone, who would you become?
Robb-Kahler: In the spirit of Christmas, I would probably choose Santa Claus. I totally believe in the statement that “it’s better to give than receive” and I truly enjoy shopping and buying for others. Plus I adore children.
My second choice would probably be my “grand cat” as he is incredibly spoiled and his toughest decision to make during the day is which sunny location in which to nap (which is) polar opposite to my world.
