PREPARED BY: Janet L. Hamilton, Management Analyst
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation only.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The fifth annual Celebration on Central, a collaboration
between the Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin and the City of Lodi, was held
Sunday, May 16, 2004. The event, a health and safety fair for families living in Lodi's east side,
was held at a new location, using the Joe Sema Jr. Charter School grounds- Food donated by the
Greater Stockton Emergency Food Bank, the Salvation Army, and the Lodi Community Service
Center, was prepared by volunteers from First Baptist Church, the Lodi Mexican American Lions
Club, and a handful of tireless recruits. Almost 50 agencies and organizations participated in the
event offering services such as health screenings, medicine, animal care, and children's activities
as well as information.
Such an event could not take place without the support of a dedicated group of volunteers and the
generosity of our sponsors and donors. We would like to recognize and thank this group for their efforts.
Major donors include Kaiser Permanente, First 5 of San Joaquin, the Lodi Arts Commission, F&M Bank,
General Mills, Lodi Electric Utility, Health Plan of San Joaquin, Lodi Adopt -a -Child, Central Valley Waste
Management, Wyeth Consumer Health Care, Dart Container, and the Lodi Community Service Center.
Volunteers, without which this event could not take place, include Salvation Army staff and residents, Boy
Scout Troup 291, cooks from First Baptist Church, the Lodi Mexican American Lions Club, and Mr. Cole,
Monica Larkin, Jason Meyers, and especially, George Bradley and Gerald King.
FUNDING: No City funds required.
