I have started to enjoy our post office, and now the powers that be are wanting to shut it down. Tonight at 6:30, a meeting will be held at the Community building in Artemas, called by the postal authorities to tell us why our Artemas post office must be closed.
I like my post office in Artemas, for the same reason the authorities want it shut down. I don't wait to buy stamps. I just walk in, they call me by name, and they ask me what I need. We chat about the community and I leave. When we will be traveling, I just ask them to forward our mail, or I ask them to hold our mail until we return. Only two people look after the place so the requests are always carried out correctly.
If a package to be delivered is too large to fit into our mail box, we are called to ask what to do with the package, and I ask them to leave it on the porch of the farm house. All nice and neat so nothing ever gets lost.
I have lived here full time for a short time but I am not prepared to lose our post office. It is cute too, and is housed at the end of a private home, so looks nothing like a real post office. Tonight I will attend the meeting and say my piece. I want our post office to remain in Artemas!!
