Art Evans Memorial Fund

Arthur passed to the next realm early in the morning on April 19. He left knowing that he was loved by his community and he was finally free of the pain.  He and Laura were blessed to be at Stanford and to have friends close by. She will be arranging a memorial in the coming month, so for right now please send a memory that you have out to him, preferably something funny. He would probably be saying right now, "somebody tell a joke." Thank you to all who have helped in the last year.

---------------------------------------------------

On May 8th, Arthur "Art" Evans was diagnosed with cancer in his right jaw. He will have surgery on July 5th, and four weeks later will begin simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation treatments lasting six weeks. While undergoing these treatments, he must live near Stanford Hospital. After time to recover from these treatments, it will probably be late winter before he can return to work.

Arthur and his wife Laura own A Cultured Affair Cafe in Mendocino. Because this is a mom-and-pop business, they will not have any income for several months. With the burden of medical expenses and related travel, they need the support of their friends, family, and community.

Arthur served his communities in Boulder Creek and Mendocino as a volunteer firefighter for 27 years and currently serves as one of the caretakers for the temple of Kwan Tai. Both he and his wife have donated often to local charities for over the years. For the first time in his life, he is asking for help.

Please give as much as you can. Every bit helps and is much appreciated by Art and Laura.
