The Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce held their 2015 installation of officers dinner last Thursday. This annual dinner is an opportunity to recognize community leaders, thank outstanding volunteers, and appreciate those who go above and beyond their duty. For the year 2014 the following honorees were given accolades by their peers, supervisors and the community at large. Also in attendance to honor the recipients was Sen. Mike Morrell. City Employee of the Year was Gabriel Orozco. Teacher of the Year was Kelly Whitfield, of Mission Elementary. Deputy of the Year was Daniel Popa. Firefighter of the Year was Capt. Glen Savik. Outstanding Board Member was Angela Lalas. Ambassador of the Year was Vern Miller. Business of the Year was Moss Brothers. The most outstanding award of the evening was presented by the incoming president Scott Stockdale to the Citizen of the Year Lily Diehl. Dr. Diehl has influenced thousands of young lives by fostering excellence in musicianship, increased self understanding, and personal growth in her students. Many of her students have been accepted at music schools such as the Oberlin and Peabody conservatories and the Eastman School of Music. A special award of appreciation was given to Richard A. Schaefer, for his contribution of his historical information found in the Loma Linda City News' weekly articles. The 2015 Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is as follows: President Scott Stockdale, University Realty; Vice President Bill Arnold, Southeastern Conference SDA; Treasurer James Walling, Loma Linda Lopers; Secretary Roni Bailey, Live Well Medical Supplies, Inc.; Elsie Chan, Spectrotape Corporation; Danny Fontoura, Loma Linda University Medical Center; Luke Kibler, individual; Angela Lalas, Loma Linda University Foundation; George Macias, Comfortcare Homecare; Margie Miller, City News Group; Verne Miller, retired; Victor Miller, retired; Gary Nelson, La Loma Federal Credit Union; BJ Rhoads, retired; and Richard A.

Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce Directors Emeritus are: Norm Meyer, retired; John Ruffcorn, retired; Willard Steward, United Property Management; and Mel Upp, retired. Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce staff includes Stephanie Mahe, operations manager. In closing, newly installed President Scott Stockdale of University Realty inspired everyone to make a difference. He said, "As incoming president, my vision is for the Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce to thrive: How do we thrive? It comes down to each of us. We thrive by supporting our local small businesses - by spending our dollars in Loma Linda when we have a choice. We thrive by joining in and participating in the many Chamber events which include our parade, golf tournament, networking events; and we make new friends as we enjoy some great food, music, and shopping at the Tuesday Night Farmer’s Market. And we grow by attracting new members to the Chamber. All of this is good for all of us. So please join me in this vision for the Chamber in 2015 – for us to thrive." The elegant evening and flavorful dining was provided by Jassan, a banquet of Indian cuisine.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
