Lisa Moore named 'Citizen of Year'
|  | | Lisa Mantarro Moore, a tireless community activist and former Ceres City Councilman and vice mayor, was surprised Friday evening when she was given the annual “Citizen of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award” by the Ceres Chamber. |
A trick was played on Lisa Mantarro Moore Friday night - but for good reason.
To prevent her from knowing that she was the recipient of the annual "Citizen of the Year" honor, Chamber of Commerce officials engage in a little deception at her workplace. Moore, a representative of Rep. Dennis Cardoza, would have known about the honor since she gives congressional recognition to award recipients at public functions. However, fellow co-worker Brenda Herbert prepared a fake certificate with the name of Dave Chapman to throw Moore off.
As soon as Stan Sinclear, the 2011 honoree, began releasing snippets of details about Moore's background, the light came on. She was more than surprised to learn she was the honoree as a crowd frolicked with laughter and applause.
