REPORTERS CONTRIBUTING WRITERS & PHOTOGRAHERS

Welcome to this year’s magazine highlighting the winners of the Bulletin Readers’ Choice awards for 2020. It is our annual contest with some of our winners dating back to 2011. Our contest is voted on and selected by you and all the other readers of the Bulletin, both in print and online. In this year’s voting we had higher participation with more votes cast than ever before — over 75,000 votes across many categories.

Every year it is important to us as your local community newspaper to recognize those people, businesses and organizations that our readers choose as the ‘best.’ As the leading local media organization in Manteca/Ripon and surrounding communities our audience is bigger than ever as we strive to produce content in many forms that is focused on the community that all of us live, work and play in.

We live in a vibrant community with many successes all around us. Especially in this challenging time as local businesses reopen, it is important that all of us patronize local businesses and support our community.

As always we strive to provide content that enlightens, entertains and informs while providing a forum for local conversation about issues and ideas.

We hope you enjoy the format of this magazine and continue to engage with our newspaper and digital platforms.

Strong Today. Strong To Stay.

In 1916, a group of farmers and business owners gathered in Lodi, California to establish Farmers & Merchants Bank (F&M Bank). A lot has changed since then, but F&M Bank has remained true to its founding principles – to remain locally owned and operated, financially strong, invested in the community and dedicated to serving all citizens.

When Our Communities Thrive, We All Thrive.

Giving back to our community means giving back to the people we know and serve on a daily basis. F&M Bank employees have volunteered over 30,000 combined hours in community service and supported over 250 non-profit organizations. Not only that, but we have also donated over $2 million to local charities, invested over $60 million and provided more than $330 million community development loans. We are proud to have achieved and maintained the highest Community Reinvestment Rating possible by the Federal Government. Being recognized with an “Outstanding” rating is so extraordinary, it’s awarded to only 13 % of all California banks1.

Experience the Difference By bringing exceptional strength and service, we remain committed to doing business the “right way” owing to the fact that a successful, sustainable business must be grounded with trust. With innovation and forward-thinking, we have grown to 29 full-service locations, including branches in the Bay Area cities of Concord, Walnut Creek and Napa. By providing a truly unique experience that goes beyond customers’ expectations, we deliver creative solutions and simply take the burden of financial management off their shoulders.

“The nature of a master planned community is to be always changing, always moving ahead toward the fulfillment of its vision,” says Susan Dell’Osso, President of River Islands Development. “This year, River Islands in Lathrop has a number of exciting new additions in its new home neighborhoods, its amenities and its active lifestyle.”

Ms. Dell’Osso has a lot to be proud about: with more than 400 homes sold last year, River Islands has been named among the most successful master planned communities in the United States. Models are underway for a number of brand new neighborhoods that will join a host of existing favorites that are continuing to build and grow. Says Ms. Dell’Osso, “River islands now has a dozen neighborhoods and 40 model homes showcasing the best in design, energy-efficiency and state-of-the-art smart features.”

At River Islands, there is an ever-changing array of home designs, square footage, and plan types, including single story and two story plans, downstairs master bedrooms, in-law suites, and up to six bedrooms. Some of the homes have been designed with lake frontage

and docks; others are close to parks, trails, the future downtown retail area and neighborhood schools. All of the homebuilders have been selected to build at River Islands based on their track record and their ability to embrace and enhance the vision of River Islands, now and for years to come.

The master plan has plans underway for a major park, with more than 15 acres set aside for community gatherings and recreation.

A 500-seat baseball stadium, called Islanders Field, is one of River Islands’ most exciting community amenities, as are six tournament size soccer fields, designed for competitive play.

River Islands has two schools, both K-8, open within the community. River Islands Technology Academy and the Next Generation STEAM Academy are both charter schools, with wide-reaching curricula. A third K-8 is in design, and a high school is in the planning phase.
