Alplaus
Post Office News
A new flat rate priority box has been added to the
products the USPS is selling (two sizes). They cost $7.70 whatever it weighs,
whatever fits in, wherever it is going in the U. S. They work great for heavy
items.
Tax season
is here. There are many forms available at the Post Office if you need them.
I have
been asked by the main office to remind post office box holders to please use your
PO Box number as your correct mailing address. If you would like to use your
street address along with your PO Box number have the PO Box number just above
the city and zip line.
Stay warm and think
spring,
Kathy Boyle
Don't Forget Valentine's Day, February 14!

I am putting the February Home Town News together a
little earlier than usual as Judy and I will be off to Chicago to visit our
sons there very soon. It all depends on the stork's delivery schedule for our
first grandchild. Please wish her/him a safe delivery.
Those who
keep asking for a "good old fashioned winter" should be satisfied
already this year. There has been plenty of snow since Christmas and it has
been colder than I remember for a number of years. Last Friday (January 28th)
registered 21 degrees below zero on the new thermometer I received for
Christmas. Brrr! Very few days have been colder than that in the 38 years we
have called Alplaus our home.
The Alplaus Auxiliary's quilts are getting
up and out in the world. Take a look at the pictures on page 5 of wounded
soldiers with their lap quilts made right here in our friendly village

PS. A note of thanks to Bob and Michelle Mazur,
new neighbors on Second Street, who have volunteered to back me up on editing
and producing the Home Town News when I'm away

From Distant Readers
From: Cliff & Bertha Lundy
To: 'Clifford Hayes'
Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 2:13 PM
Subject: RE: Alplaus HTN
Hi Cliff,
I did get the new website address from George
Clements. However, thanks for sending
it to me anyway and all the others on the list of Alplaus Kids. That included Joan Heckler Lundy and my
sister Ruth Lundy Mosher. I sent it on to Charles Foot.
Tell the persons
that prepared and put the Alplaus HTN on the Internet that it looks and reads
good and to keep up the good work. Tell them Thanks. Some of us are proud of our hometown even
when we do not live there. Thank you
for mailing the hard copy of the HTNs for several months.</
