This morning as the wind whipped and the rain poured down, hundreds of people gathered under the tent erected at the base of the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb for the First Day of Issue ceremony put on by the USPS.
10th in a series of the 2008 Nature of America Issuance these stamps depict the flora and fauna of our area.
              
A special cancellation post mark has been designed for the Glen Arbor post office that is only available until Nov. 4th, 2008.  This special post mark was inspired by a photograph taken by Mike Buhler (from Leelanau Roasting Company) of his nephew running down the dunes. 
We are so excited about this honor to our community that we are designating 500 of our personnel Becky Thatcher Design postcards, attaching one of these beautiful new stamps to each and having them cancelled here in Glen Arbor with the limited time postmark.

 If you are interested in receiving one of these postcards email us your address to sales@beckythatcherdesigns.com or call us at 231-334-3826 and we will mail one to you.
