The new Thank You, Healthcare Community stamp is available in panes of 20.

Last week, Link covered the release of Thank You, Healthcare Community, a stamp honoring the nation’s health workers.

We also reported on a special ceremony in Indianapolis for the new Christmas Madonna and Child stamp and marked the end of National Preparedness Month on Sept. 30 and the beginning of Cybersecurity Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which each kicked off Oct. 1.

Other stories highlighted the Postal Service’s delivery of free at-home COVID-19 tests to homes across the nation, informational webinars and online training courses for the Thrift Savings Plan, and the importance of not hitting “Reply All” to large group emails clearly sent in error.

Additionally, we introduced you to Carlos Vlaun, a San Antonio letter carrier whose medical training came in handy when he encountered an ailing driver, and Anna Rodriguez, the postmaster in Sierra Madre, CA, a community that marked a “date meets ZIP” event, when the date matched the local ZIP Code.

“We’re excited and honored to host this rare event,” Rodriguez said. “It recognizes the unique ties between USPS and our community. As outlined in the Delivering for America plan, we are committed to serving the changing needs of our customers for centuries to come.”
