To the Town of Lake City,

First off, I would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement since taking over as Postmaster of Lake City. It is an honor and privilege to be able to live and work here. I could not have done this without everyone!
Now on to the fun stuff. With summer fast approaching and with more packages and letters that will start showing up, I just wanted to address a couple things.
First and foremost, we just ask for patience. As of this writing I am not being allowed to hire another clerk, so you get Emily and I all summer. So that means patience for us all. We will do our best to sort and box all letters and packages as quickly as possible to meet our deadline of noon each day.
Next, our daily dispatch is 12:15 pm Monday through Saturday just a reminder to make sure and have your letters and packages to us by then if you are wanting your mail to go out that day.
Now, when it comes to addressing, for anything that comes to us (letters and packages), please keep this in mind: We are a PO Box community with no door-to-door delivery (even though Emily would if she could.) To help us streamline our system this summer, please remember to address your letters and packages that are coming into Lake City correctly.

Full Legal Name
PO BOX ###
Lake City, CO
81235

Or if the company does not allow PO Boxes,

Full Legal Name
Physical Address
(PO Box number only)
Lake City, CO
81235

If this is done correctly by our customers, it will help Emily, and I get through sorting mail more efficiently. If you have any questions regarding any of this, please feel free to reach out to us.
We are trying to make the summer go great and be amazing for our community. So, any help we can get will be much appreciated.
Now for the not so good news. Yes, people have asked and yes stamps will be going up in price. On July 13, regular stamp prices will increase to $.78. Postcard stamps will increase to $.62. I am getting as much stock as I can so we can sell as many as you would like before the increase. As always if you’re needing a certain stamp or a certain quantity just let Emily or myself know, and we will do our best getting it ordered for you.
I am excited to see what this summer holds, as well as nervous, but I think we are going to have a great summer this year. I can’t wait to see the summer crowd and for familiar faces. Please feel free to let Emily or myself know if you are needing anything at all; we can’t wait to help you.
Have a great summer and hope to see you soon!!
