ISO mom's helper
by Diana Bloss 17 Aug '20

I wonder if there's a teenager or mature preteen who might be available for afternoons (2-4 hours) during the weeks of Aug 24 - Sept 4. I have a five year old girl who really likes to play - and I need someone to play with her - at home or an uncrowded playground. We have been quarantining and mask wearing and would want the helper to have been doing the same. email or text 412 390-6276 Thanks! Diana 6111 Stanton Ave

Update on HP Save the Post Office Contest
by janet jai 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

This contest is being listed only on the HP Listserv so you have a great chance of winning. Contestants must be age 12 or younger. Contestants should e-mail me a paragraph (at least three sentences) or more saying “Why I think the post office is important and should be saved.” Each winner will win a piece of post office merchandise (examples below). There will be two winners. One winner will be drawn at random from all young people entered who send at least a paragraph on the topic. The second winner will be selected based on what I think is the best piece of writing submitted about why saving the post office is important. This contest begins August 17 and ends August 27 this year. I’ll announce the winners the week after Labor Day. As part of the entry, I need to know the name and age of the young person entering, and the area (HP, Friendship, Shadyside, etc.) where they live. I’ll talk with the winners to find out which piece of post office merchandise they would like, and we’ll agree on a prize (has to be within my budget). Then I’ll buy the items and have them shipped directly to the winners. Examples of post office merchandise (all of which are within my budget) include: The Art of Magic Kit with Stamps, a Marvin Gaye screen-printed poster, a U.S. Mail Carrier Toddler/Kids Costume (Halloween is coming), a U.S. Mail Carrier Dog Costume (Halloween is coming), an Earth Day t-shirt (currently back ordered), a T-Rex 3D Puzzle & Notecard Set, and more.

A mini (but pretty definitive) guide on what you can do to save the post office + an HP post office contest
by janet jai 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

The post office is vital to our country especially now during the pandemic. Postal workers are some of the heroes on the frontlines. Here’s a list of what you can do to help save the post office. Don’t be overwhelmed by this list. Just choose one or two. Some are fun. 1. E-mail or call as many of the following people as you can. They need to hear from as many of us as possible so they know that funding the post office is what the public wants. A. Your Senators & House Representative. Tell them you want the post office to receive the funding it needs during this challenging time. B. Postmaster Inspector General, Tammy L. Whitcomb. She is currently investigating Congress’ complaints about Louis DeJoy, the new Postmaster General. She can be reached through: https://www.uspsoig.gov/uspsoig-contact <https://www.uspsoig.gov/uspsoig-contact>. Their form is a bit elaborate. The category that seems best is: Internal affairs and executive investigations. C. Pennsylvania’s State Attorney General. The Attorneys General for six states including PA are discussing how to sue the federal administration to prevent operational changes and funding lapses for the post office that could affect the election. They expect to announce legal action early this week. D. The White House. Let them know you want the Post Office funded so postal workers can keep delivering medicine, Social Security checks, and everything else that they are heroically delivering during this pandemic even in the most rural areas, where no other U.S. mail company will deliver. 2. Sign petitions (and even text). HelloGiggles.com has a great article on how to save the post office including some significant petitions you can sign, and a lot more you can do, even text to save the p.o. https://hellogiggles.com/news/how-to-help-save-the-post-office/ <https://hellogiggles.com/news/how-to-help-save-the-post-office/> 3. Buy stamps and other P.O. merch. (And see note re HP post office contest at D below.) A. Fast Company (https://www.fastcompany.com/90540238/how-to-help-the-post-office-things-you… <https://www.fastcompany.com/90540238/how-to-help-the-post-office-things-you…>) and others recommend buying stamps, greeting cards, and other post office merchandise to help the p.o. now. Since stamp prices are due to rise in January, you can get Forever stamps now that will save you money in 2021 and help save the post office now. B. This is a great time to start a stamp collection or help your children to start one. C. The post office has interesting merchandise, e.g., The Art of Magic Kit with Stamps, a Marvin Gaye screen-printed poster, a U.S. Mail Carrier Toddler/Kids Costume (Halloween is coming), a U.S. Mail Carrier Dog Costume (Halloween is coming), an Earth Day t-shirt (currently back ordered), Christmas ornaments, a T-Rex 3D Puzzle & Notecard Set, and of course many greeting and note cards (and they can personalize them for you too). See https://store.usps.com/store/results/gifts/_/N-nnxamr#content <https://store.usps.com/store/results/gifts/_/N-nnxamr#content>. D. If you are 12 or under, enter the HP post office contest I’m sponsoring and win post office merchandise. (Details in following e-mail.) 4. Send a letter to the Editor of your local newspaper or other media, tying it in to an article they’ve written about saving the post office. Letters to the Editor are very widely read. Letters should be no more than 200-300 words. This is your chance to tell the community why you think the post office is important. 5. Use Facebook, Twitter, etc. to urge friends to save the post office and suggest one or more things they can do. 6. The next time you see your postal delivery person, thank her/him for the heroic work they are doing in this time of pandemic. Or you could leave a thank you note in your mail box. janet jai, MLA https://vision-and-values.com <https://vision-and-values.com/> Author, Saving Our Public Libraries: Why We Should.
