POST OFFICE

We may be on hold, but it is important not to "HOLD" back on sending letters to those with the ability to stop this nonsense and bring in at least a temporary post office.

Sylvester Black
VP of Western Area
1745 Stout St
Suite 1000
Denver, CO   80299

This gentleman's information was given to me as the direct boss of Rick Pivovar and the Omaha/Kansas
people.  Let's try to get at least 100 letters to this man by November 1.  We must keep our case in front
of the higher ups face!

PS -- spent yesterday with the school superintendent from Greensburg.  He said after 4 years they still have a temporary post office.

Tree Stump Grinding

Randy Wellnitz was awarded the contract for the grinding of tree stumps on public property.

(Just an idea, but....if you have personal stumps that need grinding you might contact Randy for

NEEDED: Number of Shot Dosages

The Health Clinic staff for Oct 29 needs to know the number of dosages they should bring
for flu shots and insulin.  They also need to know which types of immunizations children/people will
need.  Please email me  bjschlobohm@gmail.com  or call, 699-3371, to tell me which you will need them to bring.  They do not store these things because of shorter shelf life and storage needs, so they will get them fresh from the company just for you.

Beautiful Queen Quilt

The United Methodist Women had completed working the squares of a beautiful queen size quilt prior to the tornado.   Opportunities to have this beautiful quilt are available for $1 each or $5 for 6.  Checks can be made to Reading UMW.  Tickets are available from any of the women -- some of whom are: Carol Brock, Jill Jones, Heather Jones, Donna Davies, Jann Briggs, Rosalee Voorhees, Cindy Wilson, Reta Jackson or Barbara Schlobohm.

Log Splitters Needed

I am trying to locate folks with log splitters that would allow them to be
used the weekend of Nov 11.  The Rotary Clubs of the Kansas City Area
are coming down to do a mass clean up, then sell the wood in KC and
put the money earned in the Reading Park Fund being overseen by the
Park Action Team ( J T Crawford).  It is a win-win activit

Community Member Concern/Comment

went into the bank in Osage City to close my account. It must have been the owner who was working there.

He tried to talk me into keeping my account open, telling me that a "new" bank moving into Reading was "just a rumor", that Tightwad may still be back. (LOL).

He was not very friendly. And when he gave me my money I noticed he did not credit my accounts for the interest earned this last quarter (due 9/30/11). You may want to post a warning to everyone if they close there account to make sure they get ALL their money including interest.

I'm just waiting to open accounts for my granddaughter and me at the NEW Reading bank.

This message was sent to me and I am posting it as requested.
