TOLEDO -- A group of Toledo residents hand delivered a very large piece of mail to the city's main post office on Wednesday.

The One Village Council, formally known as the Lagrange Village Council, dropped off a postcard addressed to U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.

The poster-sized postcard invites Donahoe to a public hearing at the Zablocki Senior Center on September 14th at 6 p.m.

The meeting will give residents the chance to voice their concerns on the proposed closures of 5 Toledo post offices.

Toledo's Postmaster General accepted the invitation on behalf of the U.S. Postmaster General.  

On Tuesday, the Postmaster General announced the agency is on the brink of financial disaster.

Earlier this year five post office locations, in Toledo, were put on a list of potential closures being considered to cut costs including: the Point Place station, the Manhattan Boulevard office, the Midtown branch on Dorr Street, the Old West End station on Ashland Avenue, and Station A on Second Street in East Toledo.

"These post offices might not be the post offices that generate the most money but they are the most needed by our residents," says One Village Council President Sherry Walker.

Walker also claims the 5 post offices, in danger of closing, are all in low to moderate income neighborhoods; which she says will impede some residents from being able to afford travel to other USPS branches.
