Hi Doug,
Just wanted to let you know for the future that you and other community members are more than welcome to submit photos of service organizations doing volunteer service through our Newsy Neighbors part of the website on the righthand side. There are many groups worthy of our coverage, but it can be hard to get to every event that happens in Lodi and Galt, which is why we started Newsy Neighbors so people and groups can start letting the community know what they are up to.
Thanks, Maggie

So sad that all of the great smaller organizations right here in Lodi that fed well over one thousand on Thanksgiving day are passed over for a frugal owner to sell a paper or two in Galt.
