Pontiac P.O. selling breast cancer awareness stamps

Pontiac postmaster Micky Iseminger is selling breast cancer awareness stamps again this year - cost is $11 for a sheet of 20. Two dollars and twenty cents from each sheet sold goes to breast cancer research and awareness. The stamps serve as "forever stamps," so there is no denomination on them, and they will be sold and honored through at least December 31, 2011.

Last year Micky sold 350 sheets and raised a total of $910 for breast cancer awareness. Pontiac was the top-selling office in its coverage area, of more than 100 offices.

Throughout the month, Micky will hold drawings and give away prizes to folks who buy the stamps. This year the first 10 people to purchase at least a sheet will receive a pink wrist band. Other prizes include hats, t-shirts, pink ribbon magnets and an umbrella. The final drawing will be held Oct. 31 for a $20 Just Jackie's gift certificate. Micky is also hosting two hot dog cookouts with chips, soda and cookies from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Oct. 10 and 24.

For more information, or, if you can't get to the post office during regular business hours, call Micky at 417-679-3440.
