LIVERMORE, CA – (January 6, 2015) – The Lions Club of Livermore has selected
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley to be the “2015 Alameda County Outstanding Citizen

Herbert York, the first director of Lawrence Radiation Laboratories (1956), Thomas Caldecott of
Caldecott Tunnel fame (1938), Chester Stanley (1954), after whom Stanley Blvd is named, and many
other luminaries. These folks have been part of a process honoring Alameda County outstanding
leaders each year since 1926.

The Tri-Valley Community Television Foundation and the Dublin Partners in Education Foundation have
joined with the Lions Club to present the affair. They are assisting past recipient, Alameda County
District 1 Supervisor, Scott Haggerty, in providing leadership and fiduciary consistency to the
effort.
U.S. Congressman Eric M. Swalwell, Jr., will be a principal speaker to honor O’Malley. The  new
Bella Rosa Event Center of the award-winning Garré Vineyard & Winery at 7986 Tesla Road, Livermore,
is the venue. A specialty chef-designed dinner of New York steak and Grilled Salmon Morel has been
