Community Involvement and Revenue Opportunities

Four Vermont post offices hosted pictorial postmark events during June.  Irasburg, Orleans, Coventry and Newport participated in the Northeast Kingdom Relay for Life, offering the Relay for Hope, Courage, Faith and Celebrate Station pictorial postmarks. 

Altogether, 87 sheets of Breast Cancer Research stamps were sold, resulting in $957 in new postal revenue. More than 90 cachet envelopes were also sold by the Relay for Life teams.
