Dear Editor,

After living in Oakdale only a couple of years, I am glad to see that most Oakdaleans are loyal in doing as much of their shopping as possible in Oakdale. I also feel the same way and do my best to always try to buy what I need here in our city. However, our shopping is limited and we must go to another town that gets to receive those revenues. Pat Paul has good vision for our city and is willing to do the necessary research and to work with various merchants in convincing them to consider bringing their businesses to Oakdale.

Happy to Be Living in Oakdale, CA

Nancy Boschetti
