<strong>2012</strong> Spotlight<br />
First Baptist Men's Group – Painted fence.<br />
Our <strong>2012</strong> Spotlight is shining brightly on Bill and Carol Meehleis and<br />
their family business Meehleis Modular. They hold a strong belief in<br />
being active in their community and in supporting agencies that are<br />
helping others. They have loved and supported <strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> from<br />
the very beginning. During the last 12 years they have:<br />
• Furnished and beautifully decorated one of our bedrooms prior to<br />
opening. Adopted a second<br />
bedroom and made it welcoming<br />
and cozy for a mom and her<br />
children.<br />
• Adopted families for Christmas<br />
showering them with gifts and<br />
food.<br />
• Built much needed racks for our thrift store.<br />
• Became members of our "Caring Hearts Club", which are our top<br />
donors.<br />
Kohl's – Gardening.<br />
Mormons Helping Hands – Volunteered at our thrift store.<br />
Girl Scout Troop 2271 – Book Drive and yard work.<br />

COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS<br />
Suzanne Mangum did a special <strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> Presentation<br />
for the following groups:<br />
Women's History Luncheon – Delta Theta Tau Sorority<br />
Morada Garden Club<br />
MOPS – Faith Community<br />
Warm Hearts – First Methodist<br />
Women's Missions – St. Peter's<br />
Holidays such as Valentine's Day and Easter are often celebrated<br />
with a cake or cookies that Carol "just dropped off" because she<br />
was thinking of our families. A few years ago, Carol came up with<br />
the idea of starting "Gram’s Apron Pocket" which is a wonderful way<br />
to let our kids know that someone is thinking about them. The kids<br />
feel so special when they receive a little gift from their secret<br />
grandma. Whenever we have a need they are there to jump in and<br />
help. Last year, they built a wall between the kitchen in our<br />
transitional housing and the family room so that we could begin<br />
the process of developing our Enrichment Center. That was a huge<br />
project! The list goes on and on of all the wonderful things they<br />
have done for us! Bill and Carol did a great job in raising their kids<br />
to be community minded and to take care of those less fortunate.<br />
So we salute not only Bill and Carol, but their family members<br />
Jamie & Mark Meehleis, Chris and Julie Meehleis and Cheryl and<br />
Mike Sinclair and all the grandchildren.<br />
So Bill and Carol, let the spotlight shine as you are an inspiration to<br />
us all! If you would like to be part of sharing in Gram's Apron<br />
Pocket, please contact Carol at bnc@meehleis.com
Thank you<br />
ForOur<br />
Twelve<br />
Successful<br />
Years!<br />
<strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> is help for a changed<br />
life, hope for a brighter tomorrow.<br />
Our hope for each family member<br />
is that they will be changed<br />
because we touched their life in a<br />
positive way. We gave them hope,<br />
a renewed spirit and skills to make<br />
it on their own.<br />
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL<br />
THE CHURCHES THAT HAVE<br />
SUPPORTED US WITH THEIR LOVE<br />
AND FINANCIAL GIFTS. WE ARE<br />
THANKFUL FOR YOU!<br />

Enrichment Center . . .<br />
Our new Enrichment Center will be dedicated to<br />
“enriching” the lives of the <strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> residents and<br />
graduate families. It will be a place for learning, for seeking<br />
employment, and in general bettering one's life. It will be<br />
open for our clients to attend workshops and trainings, use<br />
the computers, and to borrow self-help and educational<br />
books and videos. It will also be available for our graduate's<br />
children to do projects, homework and research.<br />
<strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> Thrift Store<br />
Our thrift store is doing well and meeting the goals that<br />
we originally established. It is raising funds to run our<br />
programs at <strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> and it is assisting our residents<br />
and graduates with training, employment and free items.<br />
We are also giving back to our community with low prices.<br />
We now have a Seniors Discount Day every Tuesday with<br />
25% off. Our newest goal is to find a building we can<br />
purchase for the store. We are seeking to find a location<br />
that will belong to us. We have a “Thrift Store Building<br />
Fund” of $75,000 that was begun by Joe & Susan Maley.<br />
Recognition<br />
The <strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> Thrift Store was voted as the #3 thrift<br />
store in the county as published in "The Record's Best of<br />
San Joaquin County".<br />

Management<br />
<strong>Lodi</strong> <strong>House</strong> Celebrating12 Years<br />
serving our community.<br />
During these 12 years, we have<br />
changed and grown. We’ve expanded<br />
our services to include our thrift<br />
store, transitional housing and this<br />
year our new “Enrichment Center.”<br />
Our Mission has remained the same:<br />
We provide shelter, food, counseling and<br />
support to homeless women and<br />
children in San Joaquin County. We assist<br />
women in gaining control of their lives<br />
and in developing a healthy life style<br />
that will result in their independence.<br />
Our Goals have expanded from not only<br />
helping women understand and<br />
overcome the issues that brought them<br />
to the point of becoming homeless, but<br />
also includes assisting them in obtaining<br />
the skills that will result in their<br />
obtaining more productive employment.<br />
OUR PROGRAMS<br />
“Hope for the Family” – This is our<br />
primary program consisting of case<br />
management and therapy sessions. This<br />
program gives women hope that they<br />
can change their situation and have a<br />
better future.<br />
“Help for the Family” – This program<br />
provides for the physical needs of our<br />
families when they first move into <strong>Lodi</strong><br />
<strong>House</strong>. We are able to give them bus<br />
passes, personal care items, school<br />
supplies and baby items such as diapers.<br />
“Health for the Family” – This program is<br />
about providing nutritious food and<br />
information about a healthy life style to<br />
our families.<br />
Requirements of our 90 day program are<br />
that women must obtain employment,<br />
save money and remain drug and<br />
alcohol free.<br />
