Assemblyman Bill Berryhill Honors California Small Business: Manteca Businessman Has Tremendous Community Impact Contact: Mike Quattrociocchi Office: 209-473-6972 MANTECA, CA - Every year the CSBA hosts "California Small Business Day", a salute to small businesses, and their importance not only to the State of California, but the communities in which they reside. This year, Assemblyman Bill Berryhill is pleased to honor Phil Waterford of Manteca, owner of Manteca Ford-Mercury, whose philanthropic efforts have had a tremendous impact on his community. "Phil has made a tremendous impact in his community. He has given so much of himself to help those less fortunate, and the veterans whom he holds in such high regard," Assemblyman Berryhill said. Though the California economy has been tough, Phil's dealership has continued to thrive, being recognized by Ford Motor Company for its success, and honored as Small Business of the Year in Assembly District 26. His success has enabled him to continue to give back to his community, even when times are tough. "From hosting a Christmas eve breakfast that served over 500 people in need, to donating a car for a wounded veteran needing reliable transportation, to honoring our fallen veterans and their families, Phil has demonstrated that making a buck isn't the true road to success," Assemblyman Berryhill said. Berryhill continued: "California Small Business is the backbone of our economy and our communities. I emphatically thank Phil, for his efforts in these tough times; and encourage others who are able to follow his example."
 Assemblyman Bill Berryhill represents the 26th Assembly District, which includes the communities of Stockton, Ceres, Escalon, Manteca, Modesto, Patterson, Ripon and Turlock.
