US Post Office, Columbia, KY 42728 collects 4,000 lbs of food

The following letter was received following a request for information about this year's Food Drive by one of our favorite organizations, the Columbia Post Office. Turns out, the information had been sent to us, and somehow, we overlooked it. The Food Drive was a big success, anyway, we're happy to say. And, we're going to do better next year and hope that maybe CM's added help could nudge the total a little bit higher. -EW

Randal Murrell, Columbia, KY 42728 Postmaster, writes:
We just completed our Food Drive on Saturday, May 12. I did submit a notice about it to Columbia Magazine on Tuesday but I didn't get to follow up. I don't know what happened. You did a great job promoting our event last year and we appreciate that. I wish I could have got something on there this year, it really helps to remind everyone to contribute.

We had a successful day and were able to collect about 4,000 lb. of food which will all go to the local food bank and help those in need locally. Planning to do this again next year. Always the second Saturday in May. I will try to do a better job of getting the message to you next year. I enjoy the Magazine and think you all do a great service for our community. Thanks - Randal Murrell, Postmaster, Columbia KY 42728-9998
CM Postscript - Thanks so much to all those who help us with reminders. Even really big events, such as this one, sometimes fail to make the news because of an oversight. Thanks to everyone who helps us in the department. And especially, thanks to Mr. Murrell for remembering to send the news and for being so kind when it was not used. -EW
