Answer: Where Is This Inscription Located and What Is Its Historical Significance?
Many responded with their answers, all of which were correct.
It only took about 40 minutes for Fair Oaks native, Jason Fricano to correctly guess last week's via the Fair Oaks Patch Facebook page.
Like many after Fricano, the correct answer was indeed a plaque memorializing a movement initiated by the cabinet of 32nd American President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"It's on the rock wall in several locations around the Fair Oaks Community Clubhouse on California Avenue," said Fair Oaks Historical Society representative, James Pearce.

The building in the first photo was originally the second Fair Oaks Elementary School, Pearce said. It was built in 1902 and served Fair Oaks until 1928 when the third Fair Oaks School was built on the corner of Fair Oaks Blvd. and Winding Way.
In 1940 the Federal Works Project Association (WPA) converted the school building into the Clubhouse we know today.
