Chair Siddle also mentioned the Fairy Yardmothers program could be a great partnership. Mr. Stewart stated that they would like to set up a data base that can be used to track both projects and partnerships, so they can blast out a need and a partner can respond on an as- needed basis. Mrs. Stewart added that the idea is to have Love Lodi be the umbrella that all the other non-profits reside under to help us all work together rather than going about everything separately. Member Hill stated her thanks for everything that they are doing. She also mentioned that Lodi Lake Park has a real problem especially on Mondays with trash and other items left behind from the parties that occurred over the weekend. She would like to see a fee established for rentals and would like to get the awareness out there, so people will keep it in mind when they are wanting to give back to the community. Vice Chair Scott asked if there was an ETA for the App. Mr. Stewart stated that there isn’t an ETA at this time, but there was a lady on the Love Lodi committee that will be working on it. Mr. Della Monica added that there is an organization, Ready To Work, that can be called out to do any large clean-ups. He also added that there is an unspoken rule among hikers and backpackers that you leave an area with more than what you brought in because you should bring an extra sack specifically for trash that can be picked up while you’re hiking. Member Vargas stated that the Coastal Clean-Up at Lodi Lake will be occurring on September 18th if Love Lodi would like to participate. Mr. Stewart presented a flyer, Love Wine Business Mixer, which Love Lodi will be hosting as a kick-off for the 2023 event. The flyer is attached to the end of these minutes. 5.
