The Women's Center employees, board members, friends and family gathered at Heritage Oak winery on June 4, 2010 to honor Lodi office founders and volunteers. This year the Lodi office, which was founded and is still staffed by volunteers, celebrated two decades of service to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in north San Joaquin County. The video above celebrates the history of the Women's Center in Lodi, and honors the dedicated volunteers whose tireless efforts have helped to change so many lives.
