Welcome to Lodi
Welcome to Lodi, my home for 35 years. Over those years I’ve seen many changes. The maturation of our Wine Industry from several wineries to now nearing a hundred. Grape Growers who grow grapes unparallel compared to other appellations, Lodi has over one-hundred different varietals taking every advantage of its perfect growing conditions and incredible terroir.
We are a community of individuals that unite in the love of our community. Are we perfect… no, but we can point to many community assets that make us unique, genuinely authentic and a populous who are very proud of being Lodians.
Our pride is exemplified in our cover photo. It was taken at a solum occasion, the remembrance of 911 when their departments led the city in remembering those that perished on American soil September 11, 2001. The two men on the cover are; Lodi Police Chief, Serria Brucia and Lodi Fire Chief, Ken Johnson. The dedication of these two men is heralded in our community as they lead those who protect the citizenry day and night every day. Each will sacrifice themselves to save a life. They work for a community which appreciates them, values them and supports them. They are critical to a prosperous business community and a desirable place to call home.
These gentlemen are but one example of many individuals who exemplify love of this community. The same spirit is found in service clubs, school spirit and in all kinds of businesses and organizations. Lodi is referred to as “Livable Loveable Lodi” for many reasons. My hope as a new comer, is you will enjoy many examples of what makes Lodi exceptional, and that you find Lodi the place you call home.
