Gainesville Touch-A-Truck Event



The Gainesville Postal Team would like to give a big “THANK YOU” to letter carriers Cherie and John Rollen who volunteered their time to represent the U.S. Postal Service at the annual Touch-A-Truck event held on May 19.

This event attracted over 3,300 people and benefits the Children's Miracle Network and Backpack-for-Kids. Click 'Read More' for more details & photos.




Also, a table was set up to provide information on all the USPS products and services to include EDDM and Ebay and the upcoming seminars; with free cups and “goodies” for the kids.

Cherie and John work at the Gainesville GMF. Cherie is a rural carrier and John is a city carrier, and both said they had “the most awesome day!”

Their grandson Rama Van Shuster could not wait to get in “my papa’s truck” and their granddaughter Alana Leigh Shuster enjoyed people watching and looking cute!

Cherie said she was so happy to give “visibility of the U.S. Postal Service not only in our classrooms but also supporting our community functions”.  The Rollens’ both say they enjoyed it so much; they look forward to volunteering next year!

“I want to thank Cherie and John for selflessly giving of their valuable time to represent the Gainesville Post Office in such a positive way, for such a great cause” says OIC Leisa Williamson.

 “It makes me very proud to be working with employees who are engaged and conscientious about, not only their job, but our business and all we have to offer to the community here in Gainesville.”

 Here are some more photos from the event:
