Mail mixup? It happens, but you can help

Have you been receiving someone else's mail by accident? Several of us have, so we are asking everyone to be vigilant.

While few people would complain about not receiving junk mail addressed to them, in some instances time-sensitive items such as tax bills did not get to the correct addressee when needed; in others, personal correspondence went astray because not everyone checks their mailbox on a daily basis.

So, if you get something that wasn't addressed to you but its intended recipient is clearly marked, please do the neighborly thing and get the item(s) to the right people ASAP. (If you receive something not meant for you and not addressed to a Terrace resident, just drop it in the mailbox slot where you put outgoing mail. That will get it back to the USPS to re-sort properly.)

Thanks, as always, for your neighborly cooperation.
