LW PROFILES

While a good many folks are complaining about the late delivery of the mail in recent weeks, George TousVanNijkerk, Mutual 1 director, noticed that the U.S. Postal mailbox at Golden Rain Road and Burning Tree Lane was soiled. Under the cover of darkness, he took the time to clean the exterior of the box.

The postal service has been delayed, with carriers working overtime due to the extraordinary increase in mail, both with the election promotional materials as well as the ballots and voter information materials.

That, coupled with a number of carrier reassignments and illness, has delayed some LW carriers. Almost all of the carriers who service routes here have been doing “extra duty” of late, taking on not only their regularly assigned routes, but also substituting for others.
