Letter from Postmaster

Dear Editor,

The holidays are about looking out for one another — and in Gilmer, the Postal Service is proud  to help. Alongside recent transformation efforts to strengthen day-to-day delivery, we invite  neighbors to visit USPS Operation Santa at USPSOperationSanta.com and adopt real letters to  Santa from individuals and families.

This year, please consider choosing family letters — a meaningful way to help an entire  household at once. You can explore Santa’s Gift Shoppe, our expanded online catalog, to find  thoughtful items families have requested and fulfill them easily from the comfort of home.

If you’re mailing gifts to you family and friends, please plan ahead: check recommended ship-by  dates at usps.com/holidayshippingdates, confirm addresses using our ZIP Code Lookup tool at  usps.com/zip-code-lookup, and pick the service that fits your timing — USPS Ground  Advantage, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. You can also print labels and schedule free  carrier pickup at usps.com.

Thank you, Gilmer, for supporting your neighbors and trusting the Postal Service this holiday  season.

Robert K. Parker

Postmaster, Gilmer Post Office
