When her sons Harry and Lucas come to visit from their home in Annapolis, MD, you can find them all picnicking at Lodi Lake or Mickie's Grove Park. Lisa is a proud Lodi-Tokay Rotarian, currently serving as Treasurer and Past President. Lisa also serves District 4 on the San Joaquin Republican Central Committee.
