Editor,

A resounding thank you to the group of volunteers that assisted our office by processing tax mail in 2015.

Your generosity in donating your time to help us open mail in April, May, October, and November allowed us to complete our processing by a few days after the payment deadlines.

Your labor created efficiencies by allowing Treasurer’s Office staff to post payments faster, and deposit money in the bank sooner.

Thank each of you for returning year after year to spend time with us, trade stories, and for allowing us to honor you with an appreciation breakfast: Bob and Beulah Whitlow, Maddie Rose, Margaret Vasquez, Lionel Peoples, Janet Ballard, Jean Salls, Carrie Merkley, Maggie Packzkowski, Elisa Rabine, Janet Gardner, Pamela Kaiser, and in memoriam, Betty Gewald.

Wanda Grone
