Ceres Unified School District Supt. Scott Siegel was honored with the “Citizen of the Year Lifetime Achievement” award during a socially distanced format at the Ceres Community Center on Monday evening.
This marks the 52nd year that the Ceres Chamber of Commerce has recognized outstanding members of the community who have made extraordinary contributions to Ceres. For the first time since 1969, the Ceres Chamber of Commerce did not honor a “Citizen of the Year” in a banquet setting because of precautions related to COVID-19.

For years, KOGO has helped
The Salvation Army East County collect financial donations and toys for area residents in need. This year, with so many families struggling due to the pandemic, the organization reports that they are trying to help three times as many people as last year. The pandemic has also had a devastating impact on The Salvation Army, who has been unable to operate their annual Red Kettle program, which generates thousands in donations.
The Salvation Army East County (TSAEC) is meeting the challenges of 2020 by doing things differently so that they can help as many families as possible.
