Ham Lane Lodi, CA 95242 Dear Randy: As a member of the Eoard of Directors for the Central California Chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives (Sacramento), I rave been asked to make the following inquiry with the City of Lodi. Through the work of a small body of volunteer leaders from various nonprofit organizations --united by their philantropic spirit --National Philantrophy Day came into being three years ago. President Reagan and the Congress endorsed the need for the citizens of our country to recognize the efforts of millions of Americans who volunteer their time, talent, and/or money to charitable causes. On November 15, 1986, the f i r s t National Philantrophy Day was celebrated in cities througkout the United States. The National Society of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE) have undertaken the respcnsibility of continuing to spearhead this national recognition program through a variety of events. {The Sacramento chapter hosts an annual awards luncheon to honor the Outstanding Philantropist, outstanding Volunteer Rund-Raiser, Outstanding Fund -Raising Executive, Outstanding Phi lantropic Organizaton, Outstanding Corperation, and Outstanding Foundation.) The area covered by the Sacramento chapter runs from the Oregon border to Merced, therefore, although Lodi is eligible for recognition by the local NSFRE organization, the volunteers in this community do not receive the gratitude from the citizenry that they so well deserve. QUESTION: On behalf of NSFRE, I would like to ask if the City of Lodi would be interested in recognizing the work of the nonprofit volunteers in this community? Would the City consider issuing a proclamation or some type of recognition program, luncheon, and/or activity in conjunction with this year's event scheduled for Friday, November 17? If such a proposal would be of interest., I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience, to discuss various options. (see enclosures. ) Sincerely, �\ 1�P�_ (Dr.) Phyllis Jane Nusz, CFRE 209/367-1172 • 1300W.

Two recipients have been asked to accept this year's proclamation on behalf of the City. of Lodi. Sherri Mallory --One of the original designers for the restoration of the old Lodi Union High School and an active community volunteer for Field and Fair Day since 1379. She has been Treasurer of the restorati)n project since its' inception. Robert Mullen --Chairman of the Board for the Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation. Alice, Sherri will prepare a short bio sheet about her work for Mayor Snider, that will be directed to your office. Charlotte is writing a similiar copy for you for Bob Mullen, 2. The official video (8 minutes in length) for National Philanthropy Day (Week) has been loaned to us by the staff of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives, Alexandria, VA. I have seen the professional production at the Internat-.onal Conference in Anaheim, CA, and feel that both the Council and the community will have a far better understanding of the importance of this event following the viewing of the video. 209/367-1172 a 1300 W. LODI AVE.. SUITE A-12 w LODI, CA 95242 r� Alice, Charlotte would like to preview the video with Bob and sherri before the Council meeting. She w i l l see to it that you receive it a couple of days in advance so you can check out how it will work with the new equipment at Carnegie Forum. 3. Charlotte, would you contact Sherri before the event so she will know who is handling this presentation. She may also like to see the video so she knows more about what we are trying to promote within the community. 4. Charlotte, I have been in touch with maty Weybreth at the Lodi News Sentinel €or a special feature in his editorial of "wires and Choirs". He doesn't feel that there is enough human/community interest in philanthropy to merit an article. If we would have someone receiving an award at the NPD celebration in sacrame).,;o, November 9, or Lodi had an awards program, he would write something. I did tell him that Tom Raley, Raley's, has been selected as the outstanding Corporation philanthropist, but since Tom isn't from Lodi Marty feels it isn't important. There is one person left who may assist with the possibility of getting a feature for Raley's, and it might be more appropriate for the "Business Section" of the paper. I have tried to contact him several times, but he has been out. The man is the Director of Public Relations for Raley's Corporation. Dick Shredder 1-916-373-6574 His name was given to me by both Joan Hadley, Awards Chairman for Sacramento's NPD, and the private secretary for Tom Raley's daughter (Dorothy), who has taken over as the corporate President Cor her father. Thank you both and good luck with this project! I will be thinking of you while OR my trip, its just that I will be one -day ahead of things after crossing the International Dateline. Your work is greatly appreciated!
