People of Omena, do you enjoy that your mail is dry and still offered to you right here in Omena?

Part of the reason you can still enjoy this service is the office has a new roof, but it is a long way from being paid for, so please don’t let the collection box at the post office just become part of the scenery. Pocket change will help, bills even more. Please keep the new roof in mind when you stop at the post office. Thanks to all who support Omena.
