Post Office in Fairhaven.Thursday, September 12, 2002
News. There are two applicants - the Fairhaven Laundry on 12th and the Fairhaven Hardware on Harris. No third as rumored. The move is scheduled for weekend of Sept 28-29. The new hours will be Mon - Fri 10 am to 5 pm - an extra hour - plus new hours Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm. All PO box numbers will stay the same. Source of news? The PO. Should stick.

They would welcome support from us. I have a Vancouver page focused on how we can help and info on developments. Hope all can join me in congratulating the Vancouver Olympic Committee. I cannot find that third candidate for our Post Office. Anyone know? Phone me at 920-8223. I’ll accept an unnamed source for a tip. The date has slipped a littleTuesday, August 27, 2002
