Dear Alice:
We would like to request that Mayor Jack Sieglock recognize the Chamber at the March 18, 1998, City Council
meeting for receiving an award for its website.
The Lodi District Chamber of Commerce introduced its new website (www.lodichamber.com) in September
1997 to promote the interest of local businesses over the Internet.
Last month the Chamber was advised by the Western Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives
(representing the five western states) that its website tied for second place with the Hollywood, California
Chamber in a website contest. The first place winner was the San Jose Chamber.
Sites were judged on their ease of use, writing, quality, graphics, usefulness, speed of loading and overall
appeal.
The Chamber website is designed and maintained by LODI-BIZ, and hosted by SOFTCOM.
If our request is agreeable with you, I will invite those responsible for our website to join me in receiving the
presentation. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
t.4..
Les Dabritz
President & CEO
