In brief: LC choir to sing at post office

Monday is predicted to be the busiest mailing day of the year according to Lisa Nystuen, customer relations coordinator, for the U.S. Postal Service. “It’s the last chance to get packages and cards in the mail to ensure Christmas delivery.” she said.

The chamber choir from Lewis and Clark High School will be singing in the lobby of the Riverside station, 904 W. Riverside Ave., at 8:30 Monday morning.

“The Postmaster wanted to add some holiday cheer to our lobby,” Nystuen said.

The choir is hoping to raise funds for an upcoming trip and will be accepting donations.

For those who are prone to procrastination, Nystuen said the automated postal centers at the Shadle, Rosewood and Spokane Valley stations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, package size is limited at the automated centers.
