Thank you for contacting the NAPUS Hotline. This is Executive Director Ken Engstrom at the NAPUS National Office in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday May 1, 2008.

Sad News: Our condolences go to Past National NAPUS President, Joyce Turney who just lost her beloved husband, Francis. Cards may be sent to Mrs. Joyce Turney, 2018 Berkshire Avenue, S.

Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be sent to Neighborhood Church, General Endowment Fund, or to Convalescent Aid Society, 3255 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA. 91107.

Notice: The demand for the Forever Stamp continues to increase as the May 12, 2008 stamp price change approaches. These past few weeks, customers have been buying Forever Stamps at a rate of about 30 million per day, bringing the amount sold to more than (6) billion since they were first offered in April 2007. The Forever Stamp, as the name suggests, can be used to mail a one-ounce First-Class Mail letter at any time in the future without additional postage, regardless of when the stamps are purchased or used and no matter how prices may change.

Note: The Board of Governors will meet May 6-7, 2008 in Washington, DC, at Postal Service Headquarters. The expected agenda items include: remarks from the Chairman of the Board-Alan Kessler and Postmaster General and CEO- John Potter; quarterly reports on service and financial performance; and updates on capital investments.
