The Lodi Salvation Army is preparing to hold its annual dinner at Temple Baptist Church’s social hall on March 11 at 6 p.m. It will include a scrumptious dinner prepared by the Hope Harbor Culinary Class of 2013, men and women who are learning a new trade.

The event will also include the installation of new officers, featured guest speakers and a silent auction. The proceeds of the silent auction will help support a variety of community programs offered through the Lodi Corps. There will be a presentation of the Big Hearts Awards honoring individuals who have went above and beyond in assisting the Salvation Army this past year.
