Papers are at the Escrow Company

The papers were signed yesterday, July 8th, and Fedex-ed to the Escrow Company. A package showing the sale of the property is on its' way to the USPS...looks like it is in the bag.

To celebrate, a couple of Deer Harbor "bag ladies" have designed this logo, and are having it printed on bags. To order one, cut and paste the order form below or call -2189. Sadly, I've done a poor job transferring the image. Below our zip code it says, "We pushed the Envelope 2009-2020.

Here's the Order Form:

IT’S IN THE BAG ! THE POST OFFICE IS SAVED

BIG thank you to Waldron Islanders!!!

Even though the USPS promised Waldron Islanders that there would be no change in their mail service if the Deer Harbor Post Office closed, they stepped up to the plate in support of the Deer Harbor post office once again with significant donations to our Post Office Campaign.

THANK YOU WALDRON!!!

Tomorrow is the closing date--the Deer Harbor Post Office Property will become the property of the Deer Harbor Community Club. If you have not sent in your contribution, please do so by this afternoon!

The Final Days

With just one week to go before finalizing the sale of the DH post office, we are in good shape. Donations and pledges so far total $125,000 toward our total purchase price of $250,000. We have private individuals willing to make up the difference through loans to the Deer Harbor Community Club, and the rental income paid by the US Postal Service will be enough to service the loans.

If you haven't yet made a donation, please consider doing so today. The more cash in hand we have going forward, the less debt the Community Club will have to take on.

We are very grateful for the pledges people have made, but as we get down to the wire on the closing date, we need to have cash in hand. If you have made a pledge, but haven't yet written the check, please do so today. Send the check to the Deer Harbor Community Club Post Office Fund, PO Box 57, Deer Harbor, WA 98243.

A huge thanks to everyone who gave their time, money, and support to saving our Deer Harbor Post Office!!
