Letters to the Editor
Post Office
Disarray
Thanks for Sue Stauffer’s column
on the current efficiency of a
postal system which was once the
best in the world.
It’s nice to know that I am not
the only one (along with others have
heard complaining in the lines at the
La Cañada Post Office) that feels
this way.
The lack of enough people at
the post office in La Cañada is
appalling. This is a diverse ethnic
community and many of the transactions
at the local P.O. are long as
items are being mailed out of the
country. With only two windows
open and this happening, it is not
long till a line has formed.
As for getting wrong mail, have
cancelled credit cards and had to ask
for a new one as the bill never
arrived. Where it went is anyone’s
guess but I was not taking chances
in this day and age of idenity theft.
Thanks for writing what others
are thinking. You did it in a very
direct way. Please keep up the good
work.
Oh yes, the “Outlook” is my
favorite local paper.

Local Schools
Benefit From
Programs
Congratulations to the Ralphs
Community Contributions giveback
program for its generosity to
our schools, and to Paradise
Canyon Elementary’s PTA for the
program’s high level of participation
by its families, which resulted
in more than $5,500 being donated
to the school in a quarterly “giveback”
by Ralphs.
As the PTA president at Palm
Crest Elementary, I’d like to make a
minor clarification on the photo
caption that appeared in last week’s
article announcing the donation to PCY by Ralphs. Although the article
invited readers to register their
Ralphs card to benefit PCY, any
school, church or non-profit organization
may be designated to receive
funds from participants’ spending at
Ralphs. Palm Crest, La Cañada
Elementary, La Cañada High
School and the many private
schools in our area are all designated
recipients.
In these times of insufficient
public funding for our schools,
every available dollar counts.
Please visit www.ralphs.com/ccprogram.htm to enroll in the Ralphs
Community Contributions program,
and enroll at
www.escrip.com for give-backs
from Vons and other retailers, too.
Tell your friends, family and neighbors
to sign up because it costs
nothing and a small percentage of
all your spending at these retailers
can make a big difference to our
schools.

PTA President, Palm Crest Elementary
