My name is Brian Brouillette and I am the board president of TRICO Opportunities, a voluntary position.

This is a letter to follow up my letter/article dated Feb. 13 that was published last month.

The issue that I am asking the public for help with is the fact that U.S. Post Office in Kingsford is sending its recyclable materials to downstate Michigan, which is costing the Kingsford post office money, instead of to TRICO Opportunities right here in Kingsford that was picking it up for free. This helps us keep our handicapped clients working.

Please contact your Congressman via one of these three options: first-class mail, telephone or email at these addresses and/or telephone numbers:
