Gene Caulfield received the honor during the April Good Morning Santa Paula! informational breakfast meeting sponsored by Soroptimist International of Santa Paula and held at Logsdon’s at the Airport.Former Chamber President Jim McCoy said April’s honor was for “someone who has dedicated a lot of time and energy to the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce and projects a great image,” for the chamber and community.Caulfield’s dedication is ongoing as well as wide-reaching, McCoy added, including driving around Santa Paula to check out potential candidates for the Yard of the Month Award, not always easy depending on area weather conditions and their affects on landscaping. Caulfield has also overseen organization of the chamber’s annual fund raising golf tournament, one of the most popular of such events in the city.
