Dear Editor,

We want to publicly thank the Tractor Supply Co. store in Oakdale and its store manager, Doug Brooks, for their outstanding support of and help with our recent fundraiser.

Mr. Brooks graciously offered the use of space adjacent to the store for us to set up and host our Oakdale Insanity U19 Girls travel soccer team multi-family yard sale. Along with allowing us to come in early on a Saturday morning to set up, he made sure we had adequate space for our wide variety of merchandise and also found a ‘big ticket’ item to purchase from us. His staff was also very friendly and helpful and we appreciate all their support.

To those who came by and found some new treasures to take home, we thank you. If you purchased a baked good, cotton candy or a sno cone, or just made a donation to the cause, we thank you. It was a good team bonding experience for our Oakdale, Escalon and Riverbank area players and by the end of the day, we had raised more than $735.

Thanks also to the Community Hospice Hope Chest, as they sent a truck to pick up the items we did not sell; in that way, whatever we had left hopefully will also benefit someone else.

All in all, it was a great day and our team could not have done it without the support of Mr. Brooks and his entire team at Tractor Supply. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Oakdale Insanity U19 Girls
