Bainbridge Postal Employees Honored

Bainbridge Postal Employees Honored

 

Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  The Bainbridge Rotary Club annually selects a group that has or is serving our community.  Over the years, such other groups as the Village Street Department, the Town Highway Department, the Auxiliary Police, the Police Department, Town and village Boards, etc., have been given recognition for the services they have provided local residents.

 

At a time when the U.S. Postal service is struggling to put itself on a break even basis after years of deficit operations, through numerous cost-reduction programs, some of which have adversely affected service standards, it is gratifying that our personnel have been chosen for such recognition.  It apparently shows a local awareness to the problems that postal employees are attempting to overcome and a vote of confidence in their efforts and ability.  This year the local postal employees were chosen to be honored.  Pictured are employees and former employees of the Bainbridge Post Office who were so honored at a dinner by the Rotary Club at the Olde Jericho last week.
