WHAT'S HAPPENING

Party for the Post Office
The ARA is planning a Party for the Post Office on April 28th, from 10am to 1
pm.
The Party is to commemorate the Post Office, honor the former Post Masters and
Mistresses, and to get the residents together to say good bye to the Post
Office.
The plan is to meet at Samuels to have refreshments and reminisce about the Post
Office. We will then proceed to the Post Office for ceremony to honor the Post
Masters, remember good times, share stories, and take some pictures.
Ruling on
Post Office
Unfortunately, it is not good news for Alplaus and our Post Office.
The Commission voted in favor of the USPS and upheld their decision to close our
Post Office.
I am so sorry for Kathy, our community and the wonderful tradition that was our
Post Office. I appreciate everyone's effort to fight this
closure and I'm sure Kathy does too.
It is really sad the bureaucratic machine that is the USPS is making decisions
which are taking away community centers around the country and slowly eroding
the fabric of small town America.
What the Post Office and Kathy was able to do to foster community in our little
hamlet will not be lost with the passing of the Post Office.
Again, thank you for everyone's help and work to try to save the Post Office.
Sincerely,
Andy Gilpin
