Mail Call at the Webster Public Library

1 Apr

Chances are pretty good you’ve heard about the “Mail Call: Letters From Home” challenge recently — especially since I’ve been writing about it a lot.

In short, it’s a month-long challenge for Webster to write 1,000 cards and letters to our deployed troops, which will then be included in care packages sent overseas in June. (You can read more about it here.) You may have already noticed one or more of the “Mail Call” mailboxes which have been placed in a dozen businesses and agencies throughout town. There are cards and pens placed next to each one, so perhaps you’ve even taken the moment to write out a personal message and placed it in the box.

But if you haven’t had a chance to do that yet and would like to help our town achieve this monumental goal, here’s an easy way to do that:

This Saturday, April 5 you can stop by the Webster Public Library from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a community card-making event in the Community Room. All supplies will be provided, and no registration is required. You can bring the kids, invite your neighbors and friends, and have a little fun while brightening the lives of our deployed service members. The library is located at 980 Ridge Rd., at the back of Webster Plaza.

Won’t be able to make it on Saturday? The library will have supplies out at a table all next week, so you can stop in anytime. And of course you can make some cards at home and drop them in the Mail Call mailbox in the library, or in any Mail Call mailbox in town.

Here are where the mailboxes are located:

  • American Legion Cottreall-Warner Post 942: 818 Ridge Rd (back entrance).
  • Jersey Mike’s Subs: 975 Ridge Rd.
  • Key Bank: 1848 Empire Blvd.
  • Key Bank: 980 Ridge Rd.
  • Lowes Home Improvement: 900 Five Mile Line Rd.
  • Mama Lor’s Cafe: 1891 Ridge Rd.
  • Pearl Vision: (Wegmans plaza) 900 Holt Rd.
  • Salvatore’s Old Fashioned Pizzeria: 195 North Ave/ (Rt 250)
  • Village Quilt Shoppe: 21 E Main St.
  • Webster Public Library: 980 Ridge Rd.
  • Webster Recreation Center: 1350 Chiyoda Dr.
  • Webster Town Hall: 1000 Ridge Rd.

Let’s DO this, Webster!!!!
