During this GPPCC January 2025 Monthly Forum, the enrichment topics featured are:

Postal Enrichment: John Sandness, Postal Co-Chair, will guide everyone through Publication 286, which provides PCC Policies and Rules. We will also brainstorm ideas to grow and strengthen our PCC.

***On January 9th, 2025 (the 2nd Thursday of the Month), the Postal Service will be closed to observe a day of mourning and remembrance of the passing of former President Jimmy Carter and so January's meeting has been moved to January 16th, 2025.
