The City Clerk's Office has traditionally coordinated an annual event hosted by the Lodi City Council to
extend its appreciation to the members of the community who volunteer their time and talents toward
serving as a member of a Council -appointed board or commission. Over the years, with the
incorporation of many additional volunteer groups in the community, this event has increased to a
number now approaching 450 individuals. In addition to the boards and commissions members, the
event now includes volunteers from the following groups and Council -appointed task forces:
