Dear Editor,
Since May 24, 2014 when Wes Stewart passed away, a group of his friends have been working to create a memorial in his memory. On August 18 at the city council meeting, approval was given to move forward with a beautiful memorial bench to be placed on the grounds of the Gene Bianchi Community Center. The “Friends of Wes Stewart” want to extend sincere thanks to the Parks and Recreation Commission, Linda Royalty with Parks and Recreation Department, and the Oakdale City Council for helping to shape and then approve the plans for the memorial.
The “Friends of Wes Stewart” are now starting a fundraising effort for the memorial. If you would like to provide financial support for this fitting memorial to the life of a person who gave so much to the city of Oakdale, we would appreciate your support. Please send your donation to Ann Farmer at 1080 Gina Way, Oakdale, CA 95361. Any contribution will help and is very much appreciated. Please make your checks out to the City Of Oakdale.
Friends Of Wes Stewart
