1 MANTECA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER APRIL, 2016 THE MUSEUM VOL. 26, ISSUE 4 DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF OUR MANTECA AREA HISTORY APRIL 14TH PROGRAM NIGHT: MANTECA S.H.A.R.P. Seniors helping area residents & Police On September 3, 1991, the Manteca S.H.A.R.P. organization was formed as the first such unit in northern California. Under the direction of the Manteca Police Department, the organization provides traffic control at accident scenes, crime scenes, fires, parades and other city events to free-up the Police Officers for other important duties. They also conduct a host of other volunteer duties which you will learn about at the April Program Night at the Manteca Museum. Join us for an interesting presentation by Manteca S.H.A.R.P. members at 7:00pm at the Museum. Refreshments and dessert is served following the program. The program is free. THE 24TH-ANNUAL GOURMET SAMPLER PROVIDED FOOD, FUN AND PRIZES! PHOTO The desire to taste food, dessert, beverages and win prizes were very evident as a nice crowd turned out to do just that on March 13th at the Senior Center. We hear that folks were not disappointed, even with the rain, as the efforts at 23 vendor booths offered up a variety of sampling choices. Thanks so much to our guests and ticketbuyers, our vendors, raffle-prize contributors, ticket outlets and our museum volunteers, including the JROTC and INTERACT youth groups who were a big help this year. Thanks to the Park Ave. Jam Band and to the City of Manteca for allowing us to use the Senior Center. More photos inside. UPCOMING Dates All events are at the Museum, unless indicated.

3 APRIL, 2016 PRESIDENT S CORNER - DAVE WINEGARDEN STAGE PHOTO A GRAND HISTORY OF MANTECA SPRECKELS The annual meeting to elect board directors was complimented by a special program-night, as those in attendance were presented an interesting historical account of the Spreckels Sugar Factory, which played a giant role in Manteca s landscape for over 75 years. A reflection of days goneby was delivered by Mark Abram, Manteca Historical Society director and treasurer, who also holds the designation as the last Manteca Spreckels manager charged with the task of disassembling the Manteca plant. The Museum stage exhibit was changed to honor Spreckels in conjunction with the Spreckels program. If you haven t seen it yet, stop by and take in some Spreckels history. And, great job Mark, with your presentation, and Q & A. Thank you to outgoing board members, and welcome new directors PAGE 3 Our annual meeting was held on March 10th with our board elections taking place just ahead of a great Spreckels program by Mark Abram. The following week s board meeting included electing our officers for the fiscal year. Thanks to past president, Leon Sucht, who led the nominating committee this year, along with Mark Abram, Mel Picanco and Al Johnson. Dave Winegarden Many thanks to outgoing board directors, Evelyn Moore, and Donna Stafford, (also secretary) who have served the Museum in many capacities.

He will remain on the board as our Sargeant-at-Arms. We welcome new board members, Sally Mendes and Vivian Sarina to our board. Both have been long-time supporters of the Manteca Museum and we are pleased they have agreed to join us as directors. We also thank officers: Marvin Brocchini, who will serve as 2nd Vice President, and Sally Mendes, who will serve as our new Secretary. I am honored to accept a 3rd term as the MHS&M board president, serving with Tommie Gallardo, 1st V.P., Marvin Brocchini, 2nd V.P., Mark Abram, Treasurer, Sally Mendes, Secretary, John Borders, Parliamentarian, and Earl Pimentel, Sargeant-at-Arms.
