MILITARY MAILING DAY
Military Mailing is a collaborative effort of the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Schools, Pigeon District Library, Pigeon Post Office, and Pigeon Rotary. Our next Military Mailing Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 8 from 1 PM – 5 PM in the library’s Community Room. Volunteers, under the direction of Pigeon Postmaster Peggy Hoppe, will assemble gift packages for service men and women. If you are interested in helping with this event, please call the library at 989-453-2341 to have your name added to the volunteer list.

Donated items may be dropped off at the library during business hours. Items will be shipped in flat rate mailing boxes at the rate of $10.95 each and donations to cover the cost of mailing a box are always welcome. When this is done, a note is included in the box to inform the service man or woman who covered the cost of mailing that box. Monetary donations to help cover the cost of mailing the boxes may be left with Michelle Hill at Thumb National Bank in Pigeon.

Last fall one hundred thirty-seven boxes were packed and mailed. This year, the group hopes to surpass that number and with your help, we will be able to.

You may pick up or view a list of items that can be donated for Military Mailing by visiting the library or viewing the list at the library’s web site www.pigeondistrictlibrary.com. Look for the link on the right side of our homepage. Thank you for your support!
