New Bloomfield to see change in mail delivery

Starting Saturday, mail delivery times in the New Bloomfield area will be affected by a switch in mail sorting procedures.

Valerie Welsch, a U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman for the St. Louis district, said beginning Saturday the three New Bloomfield postal service mail carriers will pick up mail sorted at the Holts Summit Post Office instead of the New Bloomfield Post Office.

Welsch said the New Bloomfield post office will remain open and the office's retail services will continue. "Customers still will be able to come in at the New Bloomfield post office and buy stamps, money orders, and mail packages," Welsch said.

To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
