mrsnose, There are many people in Stokesdale who have been working on getting a new post office here, long before this latest petition drive effort was even dreamed up. Numerous individuals from Stokesdale have met with and discussed a new post office with our congressman and with other elected officials as well as with regional and national postal officials, and those conversations have and will continue.
There are many different avenues which may be taken on the road toward getting a new post office for Stokesdale and the petition drive is only one of them. As I mentioned before, the post office officials at the higher decision making level have actually suggested and said that a petition drive is essentially worthless. However, if there are those who simply want to do something to simply be doing something, then by all means proceed ahead. It will be their waste of time and not mine.
Two other groups of individuals that I am personally aware of are proceeding more directly in their efforts to either bring a private mail facility such as Mail Boxes USA to Stokesdale while another group of business leaders is attempting to locate a vacant parcel of land and offer to build to suit a facility for lease to the USPS.
So just because some of us choose not to be part of one petition effort does not mean that we aren't working on other efforts we believe will lead to far more productive results.

I have found over the years, that most of the folks in Stokesdale who actually accomplish much of anything do so in a manner quietly, diligently and below radar.
The true movers and shakers aren't the publicity hounds. Nor the politicians.

I will be withdrawing myself from this forum. Unfortunately, I have created a firestorm in the town of Stokesdale regarding this post office issue. I will not apologize since there was no ill intent or sinister aspirations on my part. The thought of having the town residents "laughing their butts off" over a project that meant so much to me is truly depressing. I fear that some have strayed from our Christian upbringing if the earnest attempt by a 64 year old woman has caused them mirth.
I am not taking myself out of this forum as a retaliatory move, but rather as a conciliatory act. May peace come back to Stokesdale and may all those who are presently working towards securing all the facilities referred to recently have much success. I just wish I had been informed of this when I first joined this blog. Please be so kind as to wish me well. We are after all, one voice, one town and have one need. I will continue my individual letter writing campaign.
Sincerely,
Eileen Thiery
To add a little levity, today is my birthday and I intend on "having my cake right now and eating it."

| I second FatPappy. Sometimes you just have to take a break and just read and not comment. I love the spunk you two have so whether you stay on the board or not I know you will keep on being involved. That is what is important.

| Tweety, I intend to eat a big chunk o' cake, first chance I get, in honor of your birthday. The fact that I was gonna eat a big chunk o' cake first chance I got anyway is entirely beside the point. Hee hee.

Ate my cake and didn't even count the fat calories or sugar content! Jut was in Whipped Cream Heaven. I will continue to read the postings after I take my blood pressure medication! Thanks for the encouragement.
