Our kids represent the future of local government. Today, Mrs. Nickel’s 5th grade class from Reese Elementary had the opportunity to explore their city’s government operations in an effort to inspire an interest in public service. The class joined Mayor Lisa Craig on a tour of City Hall and several City departments, including Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Rec, and the Police and Fire Departments. They even stood behind the speaker’s podium in the Council Chambers of Carnegie Forum, experiencing how it feels to give public comment at a City Council meeting. Thank you Mrs. Reese’s class for joining us, and we appreciate the city departments for taking time to share their work. Encouraging our youth to participate in local government fosters a stronger understanding of how government serves its residents, and inspires civic enagagement and careers which benefits the future of our community. #publicservice

Another local small business that is a must-visit is Casa Flores, a family-owned Mexican restaurant that was expanded to Lodi in 1997. Their amazing dishes like the green enchilada, fajitas and most recent addition of birria tacos are mouth-watering. The restaurant atmosphere along with their large patio makes you feel right at home. End your week with a dish from Casa Flores! 400 E Kettleman Ln, Suite 5 www.casafloreslodi.com 209-365-0559
