All Hands In: Volunteer Recognition Our distinguished volunteers for the Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation were honored on Thursday, December 13th with a volunteer recognition party at the beautiful White Rock Visitor Center. It may be a surprise to some to learn that we have nearly 150 volunteers on record that help make it possible for the LACDC to do what we do. Our volunteers are the best. The services they render us are truly labors of love. In today’s atmosphere of “I’m too busy, I’ve got no time and I’ve got to make money with any
available time I do have,” these heroes are proving these beliefs are not true. Many of our volunteers have served for many years. They enable the LACDC to deliver services which would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars each year. The list of volunteers reads like “I sing a song of the Saints of God” where one was a soldier and one was a priest. Only ours reads more like one was a golfer and one was a judge and one always loved to make chocolate fudge. VOLUNTEERS | pg. 10

Denise Lane & Staff of Dixie Girl
The Remarkable Restaurants of Denise Lane Denise Lane, a serial entrepreneur and business woman, started the Hill Diner in Los Alamos, NM twenty-seven years ago has been recognized as 2012 Success Client by the UNM-LA Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The business has grown to become part of the fabric of Los Alamos, both as an eating and meeting spot and as the first experience in the working world for the more than 400 high schoolers. The Hill Diner is where people go when they are craving comfort food in a familyfriendly environment. In the midst of the tough 2012 economy, Denise expanded to establish a new restaurant, Dixie Girl. The menu is “New American” and patrons experience new and different menu offerings derived from a mixture of cultures and cuisines. “Our concept emphasizes high quality, fresh ingredients in comfortable surroundings. I take a handful 2
of cash to the Farmers’ Market each week and pick up fresh ingredients from area farmers … we have a supplier relationship with a farm in the valley that keeps us stocked with fresh produce,” says Denise. Whether a celebratory meal or communing with friends over food, this is a great neighborhood restaurant. Denise has self-financed the start-up of Dixie Girl. One of the innovative ways she raised capital was to create a “Founders Club” where members prepurchased credits that can be used for purchases at the restaurant. Denise stated, “in addition to helping me with capital formation, the founders are also valuable resources for feedback and for making connections with other people in the community.” The SBDC has helped Denise pursue her dreams over the years. “Our relationship with the SBDC goes way back,” says Denise, “We have sought and received assistance on a variety of business issues over the years. Dixie Girl was an idea that was five years in the making and the help and market data we received provided a clearer
understanding for the potential of this business and how we should adjust to market opportunities.” In 2011, Denise participated in a Destination Retail initiative facilitated by the SBDC in partnership with the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce. “That process turned on all kinds of light bulbs for me … and they are still turning on to this day,” Denise said “I would have to say that the experience was life changing in terms of how I now think about positioning my businesses.” Denise’s businesses also take advantage of the business training offered by the SBDC. According to Denise “The training offerings are a valuable part of the help the SBDC has provided to my businesses. They give me a convenient and affordable way to give my staff professional development in a variety of important topics. They get together in trainings and are more plugged in as a result.” Denise is already in the process of expanding the Dixie Girl concept with a co-located, synergistic business called Dixie Girl Market. Dixie Girl created

Fantastic Feedback From FAN 44
“
I wanted to be sure to tell you how much I enjoyed today’s lunch with fellow Fan44ers at Coffee Booth... We never seemed to lack for conversation, and I felt it was especially important for [newcomers] to be part of a growing circle of friends.
Since I am representing a service organization, I felt it was very valuable to have the opportunity to speak one-on-one about Rotary. For many, the volunteer work of Rotary, Kiwanis, Elks, the Masons... is very confusing. I appreciated the chance to tell the Rotary story and encourage collaboration or partnership with the new friends at the table. Thank you for offering this innovative program... This is really a valuable networking opportunity... I look forward to future FAN44 opportunities!

It’s always tricky to insert a new habit or practice within the confines of a busy workday, but the FAN 44 Lunch is well worth the effort. I really enjoyed dining today with my cohorts Bill Godwin and Linda Hull. We chose to discuss a realm of lofty topics which were so far removed from the pragmatics of work that it felt like a mini-vacation away from the desk; with only one hour expended. It was a really enjoyable and uplifting use of time. -ALLISON M.

The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce Needs You! Remember the old poster showing Uncle Sam? The one that says “Uncle Sam Wants You?” Well, think of me as Uncle Sam. I am asking you, not to join the Army, but to get more involved in the Chamber. That’s going to mean a lot of different things to lots of different people- it may mean helping to plan the golf tournament, or serving on the Youth Business Grant committee, or calling me to ask for some help with a press release, or volunteering to host a FAN Club. When was the last time your organization hosted a FAN Club? Have you gotten to know any fellow businesspeople at the FAN 4 4 luncheons? Chamberfest is the second weekend in June- if you’ve never participated before, you might start thinking about how to introduce the community to what you do. Do you have a special offer we can promote for you? Do you know what’s showing up on your Traffic Catcher page when people search for you on the internet? I’d like to know if your business is changing or growing. I’d like to know if you’ve got a meeting I can help facilitate. I’d like to know if you’ve got an interesting story to tell about a customer or an experience you’ve had in business. Call me to tell me what the Chamber can do for you. I’d love to hear from you. katyk@losalamos.org, 661-4816

If you are interested in joining us, it’s not too late - just call Katy Korkos at 661-4816 to get signed up today.

Community Asset Awards
just do good things for the community because they enjoy doing them. Those recognized in the past have made contributions locally, nationally and even internationally to improve the lives of people or their community. Gene Schmidt, Superintendent of Los Alamos Public Schools has made numerous nominations. “Los Alamos is a very remarkable community with a deeply embedded, unselfish spirit of volunteerism. I marvel at the capacity of our residents to find ways to assist their neighbors. When I see these gifts so unselfishly given, I am reminded of the goodness in people who humbly, without thought of receiving thanks, go through their lives practicing random acts of kindness. In some small way, these acts of kindness need to be celebrated. I take great pleasure in shining a light on these incredible people as no good deed should go unnoticed. I would strongly encourage community members to join with me in looking for the good in people and celebrating it through a nomination for the Assets in Action Community Awards,” says Schmidt. The ceremony to honor those nominated will take place on January 5th. Tickets are just $10 and are available by calling Bernadette Lauritzen at 505-661-4846.

LACDC Volunteer Recognition CONTINUED.... From this catchy descrip-
tion you can make out that our volunteer needs are diverse. We have certain volunteers who are needed for lining up floats in our WinterFest and Fair & Rodeo weekend parades; we need strong, heavy-lifting helpers for transporting our stereo system out to event locations; judges to decide which floats are the most dazzling and should win first place, volunteers to answer the telephone while the visitor center receptionist is out to lunch, golf enthusiasts to plan our annual tournament to benefit United Way 10
of Northern New Mexico, people to help our small business center counselors with the youth business grant awards, or volunteers to go to the Legislative Reception in Santa Fe and sample some of the best food in the world. This is a short list of LACDC’s volunteer functions. If you would like to learn more about these opportunities, please call Cindy at 505661-4815.
