Newspaper celebrates 6.5 million successful Postal deliveries

The Bryceville (32009), Callahan (32011), and Hilliard (32046) FL Post offices have been delivering the Westside Journal to every household, business, and Post Office box customer in their customer service areas for years.

The Westside Journal recently celebrated its 10th anniversary by recognizing the excellent and dedicated customer service provided by Postal employees at these offices. 

The hometown newspaper article stated:  “As we, the Westside Journal, continue celebrating our 10th Anniversary, we would like to show our appreciation and gratitude to a group that helps our paper reach our readers each week.  Our February Appreciation goes to our Postal employees and carriers in Callahan, Bryceville and Hilliard.  We would like our readers to share our appreciation by thanking your carriers or employees with a simple ‘thank you’ for delivering the Westside Journal each and every Thursday!”

“Last Thursday, while casing the neighborhood paper, Westside Journal, it was a very nice surprise to see recognition dedicated to the clerks and carriers that deliver these papers every week,” stated Kim Vojtech, Postmaster, Hilliard.  “The paper serves as a local informational tool to keep its citizens connected, informed and also serves as a buy/sell/trade/rent venue to advertise local events, services and any and all things for sale or trade.  Another VERY nice surprise arrived bright and early the day after the news article when Westside Journal staff members delivered breakfast goodies, served with milk and OJ!”

The customer service area that these three post offices serve consists of 12,600 residential, business and post office box customers.  The box holder newspaper is delivered every Thursday, 52 weeks per year.  Ten years of delivery service equates to 6,549,400 deliveries over the 10-year period.  That’s a whole lot of newspapers!
