Postal Service Rep Visits Breakfast Club

State's Postal Consumer Affairs Manager Discusses Mail Services, Scams For First Congregational Seniors

Southington – This week's Breakfast Club at the First Congregational Church will serve mail, sunny side up, with a side order of common sense and personal safety.

That's on the menu for Connecticut District's Consumer Affairs Manager, Lori Gaither-Gordon, and the seniors at Southington's monthly Breakfast Club for Thursday, January 8th. The Breakfast Club meets on the second Thursday of every month at 8 am at the church, located at 37 Main Street in Southington,.

Ms. Gaither-Gordon will discuss convenient postal services such as Stamps by Mail and creating postage on computers. She will also share some insight on mail scams that target seniors and how seniors can reduce their risks. Her 30-minute program will be followed by a question and answer period.

The Postal Service's Consumer Affairs function, under the direction of Postal Vice President and Consumer Advocate Delores Killette, coordinates independent measurement systems that guide the Postal Service in improving operating and service performance. Managers like Ms. Gaither-Gordon also provide a barometer of customer satisfaction to local postal management through outreach and response to customer inquiries.

The Postal Service’s Connecticut District serves more than 3.5 million postal customers over more than 5,000 square miles through 218 post offices and an additional 80 stations and branches.
