On the Cover This original photo was pulled out of the archives at the Parks and Recreation Office. Originally, it is believed that this photo was taken at Van Buskirk Park on Pleasant Street, because that was the caption on the back of the photo. However, after further investigation, we were able to identify the location as the old Lincoln Elementary School on Oak Street and Cherokee Lane. Today, this is the site of the Lincoln Tech Academy and Lodi Adult School. The brick building continues to be a very notable landmark and in the rear of the property there is now a parking lot, where this baseball backstop once existed and was home to recreational baseball. Staff was able to identify the location based on the two houses located in the background of the photo. Those houses are still there today, but some of the trees have been replaced. To date we can not identify the individuals pictured. If you can help identify these people, please let us know so we can recreate this photo today.

It's the 75th anniversary of the department's creation, and we plan on celebrating with you — the people we serve. This means monthly special events designed to bring the community together, ranging from continuing our music in the park series to a department birthday party at Lodi Lake on July 16. The fun will start in January with a community treasure hunt, and conclude in December with a thank -you reception for our sponsors for the year. In between, we'll have events such as a park -to -park bike ride, an Arbor Day celebration in which we'll plant 75 trees, and other activities for people of all ages. Your job, if you accept the assignment, is to be a part of the fun. That can mean all sorts of things, from showing up and enjoy the festivities to volunteering or to making a donation to help us cover the cost of this community celebration. You can learn more about our anniversary celebration at www.lodi.gov/pres, and make a contribution in return for recognition, swag and more by using the form on the inside back cover of this guide. We'II be celebrating the New Year for some other reasons, too. We'II be installing new lights and light poles at Salas Park and reconstructing the boat ramp, dock and parking lot at the north end of Lodi Lake Park. We're also hoping to renovate Candy Cane Park through a partnership with businesses, civic groups and volunteers. Although we've become a lean organization in recent years, we still lack the funding to make improvements needed to provide the kind of park amenities the public desires. I look forward to seeing you at our many upcoming special events, and hope you continue to enjoy our parks and recreation and cultural programs in 2016 and for many years to come. Sincerely, 1.e#A,0,1/ Jeff Hood Director City of Lodi Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services 75th Anniversary Treasure Hunt We are kicking off the City of Lodi's Park, Recreation, and Cultural Services 75th Anniversary Celebration with a Treasure Hunt. PRCS has joined with the Headwaters Kayak shop, and we will be having a social media Treasure Hunt in the month of January. You will be searching for our 75th Anniversary medallion. Clues for the hunt will be posted on Facebook and the "Treasure" can be found in two of our Lodi Parks. Players will be able to hunt by following the City of Lodi — Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services page on Facebook, where clues will be released. Two grand prizes will be given away: One will be a fully loaded kayak with lifejacket, paddle and other equipment, and the second grand prize will be a stand up paddleboard with lifejacket, paddle and other equipment. The treasure hunt for the first medallion will begin January 2 and the second hunt will begin January 9, 2016. Clues will be released on the day the hunt begins, and in the days to follow. This event aims to raise awareness of our wonderful park system, but also to celebrate the 75 years of service to our community by the Lodi Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department. We encourage family, friends and community members to take park in this exciting event exploring our PARKS! For any questions about this event or how you can sponsor one of the 75th Anniversary Celebration events, please contact Anne -Marie Poggio at 209.333-6735 or apoggio@lodi.gov. Happy hunting!

Dave was a member of the commission for 11 years, a long-time BOBS member, a great friend to Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department and someone who contributed much to the Lodi community.

She has been volunteering as a Lodi Lake Nature Area Docent since 2013 and enjoys her walks with the school groups because of her love of children, nature and animals. Giving back to the Lodi community is important to her, so she can be counted on to lead multiple tours in a busy week. She values the sense that she is worth something in her older years, and that she can give her time and energy helping to ensure "that our children and grandchildren become knowledgeable of our land and nature - teaching them that we must take care of where we live." Originally from the Los Angeles area, she lived briefly in Iowa, but now considers Lodi her home. She has been married to her husband, Don, for 44 years; has a son, Tim, and one grandson, Henry. When asked whether she would recommend the docent program to others, she said emphatically, "YES! Docenting helps to complete my life. I enjoy teaching new generations of students how great life can be, studying nature, all while giving back to our community." Join the docents to get a breath of fresh air! Contact the Parks and Recreation office at: 209-333-6742, for more information about the docent program or to book a tour.
