Post Office "Town Meeting"       Scheduled

 



FEASIBILITY STUDY:  As a College Hill Resident you probably received this study.  Please, Please fill it out and return it promptly.  We received it today, Wednesday, November 2nd.  Our office will fill it out and put it in Thursday, November 3rd's mail.   

 

No matter what is planned we ALL need to continue the course to STOP any closure at  ALL COST!!!!!

 

We truly appreciate EVERYONE doing THEIR PART.   

 

For the meeting carpool.  Check with your friends and neighbors to see if they need rides.  Let's do everything that we can do to get to that meeting. Let nothing deter us from this endeavor!!!!! 

----------------------------------------------- 

After months of wondering if we would get a chance to be heard ~ we've been advised that we will.  On
Tuesday, November 15th at 6:30 PM, at the College Hill Recreation Center, there will be a "Town Meeting".  This "Town Meeting" will be to discuss the possible closing of the College Hill Post Office.   

 

Post Office Officials will be in attendance to present their views and to get input from the community.

 

It is VITAL that all of College Hill turns out to show our support for keeping the post office in College Hill.

 

Obviously the petitions that have been signed, and submitted, by many of you have been helpful in showing our concern.  A LARGE turnout, of visible concerned residents is even more effective!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

-----------------------------------------------  

 

Have you signed a petition?  Have you passed the petition on in your area/business/home?  Have you done as much as you can?

 

We are awaiting a date and time but must remain vigilant.  Until then Thank You All ~ If No One Else Has Said It! 

 

According to the office of Steve Chabot this is NOT a done deal.  There will be a hearing that will be open  to the public.  No date or time has been revealed as of today! 

 

Also, any legal resident of Hamilton County can sign the petition! 

 

And as previously reported ~ please know that Hartman & Erhrmantraut CPAs will provide you with as many of these blank petitions, as you would like.  Please feel free to take them and have them signed in your neighborhood ~ or anywhere else in College Hill that you can cover.

 

Let's get all of the signatures that are possible!

 

In the meantime please remember to sign the petitions in the community.  Again, they are located at the following locations:

Please remember, since the perception is that we do NOT use our Post Office enough ~ foot traffic would dispel that!!!!

Hello Readers,    

 



This Special Issue is a push for College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation {CHCURC} to reach their $200,000 challenge.  It is meant to repeat previous information because of the importance of these events. 

Your participation helps towards the challenge.  The challenge, of which, they are on the verge of achieving will be a major accomplishment for College Hill. So, if you can, attend/donate and know that the money spent is going towards that challenge.  And, that challenge ~ once met ~ will HELP ALL of College Hill!

This serves to help everyone to understand why these articles are being singled out and put out once again.

Thanks to all for your patience and patronage!!!

"Never miss a chance to say a kind word".

And, how was your week?

 

I'm Wishing Blessings to You All!
