Showing their Hearts in Hartselle

This notice of an upcoming Breast Cancer Awareness Event was sent in by Heather Fairbanks, the Acting Postmaster at the Harstselle, Alabama Post Office:



Hartselle Postal Employees are helping to deliver the cure this month of October.  A special event to honor Breast Cancer victims and their family and friends is being held on October 22, 2010 between 10:00am-1:00pm.  There will be refreshments and drawings for prizes that were donated by employees.  

The whole office is excited to be involved in this Delivering The Cure campaign.  The clerks have decorated the lobby with symbolic pink displays and bulletin boards to help sell the breast cancer awareness stamps.  To date, they have sold over $2500.00 in just the first week.  

The community has be very receptive and supportive, especially after a local paper wrote an article about us to get the word out.  As their Postmaster, I am extremely proud of their excitment to participate in the Delivering The Cure breast cancer awareness month to raise money for research.

Thanks, Heather and all of the Hartselle Post Office employees, for getting involved and for reaching out to your community and to people everywhere who have suffered from or had a loved one suffer from breast cancer. We look forward to seeing pictures and results later in the month.
