The village has virtually completed updating the mailbox shelters located throughout the village.
We extended the length of the shelters to make room for locking mailboxes for everyone who chooses to have one now or in the future and replaced the shelter roofs. Except for a few minor "loose ends" the project was completed on Sunday, September 27.
We really appreciate all of the time and hard work contributed by a number of our fellow residents. Volunteers included: Don Jacobs, Dennis Hummel, Bruno Kalis, Troy Gilliland, Chris Myerchin, Don Skidmore, BZ Ellis, Scott Heartfield, Bruce Milligan, Leonardo Baker, Tony Thomas, and Bob Weiss. Also, we thank Barbara Kalis and Cindi Smith for their work obtaining boxes and taking care of a lot of administrative issues connected with this project. [If we missed anyone, our sincere apologies—please let us know ASAP.]
If you did not choose to purchase a locking mailbox through the village, but now wish to do so, we recommend the black Oasis Jr. Locking Mailbox available locally from Home Depot and from a variety of mailorder sources (google oasis jr. locking mailbox). This box will fit in the space available on the new mailbox shelters and will match those purchased by a number of other village residents.
Complementary address number labels are available from the board while supplies last.
