Cancelling Out Breast Cancer at the Weaver Post Office

On October 1, the Weaver Post Office became the first Post Office in the state of Alabama this year to conduct a Breast Cancer Awareness stamp event.

The following picture and summary was submitted by Roswitha Sparks, the Postmaster of Weaver.

Weaver's pictorial postmark was featured in Postal Bulletin 22296, issued 10-21-2010:

The Weaver Post Office is known for the effort that the staff makes every year to further the cause of breast cancer awareness and prevention during the month of October, and once again, the Weaver community (with a population of less than 3,000) responded.
