Special recognition was given to Letter Carrier Yvette Perez for her dedication to service at the City Place Station. Diaz is a breast cancer survivor for three years.

“Women should make sure they get yearly mammograms.  Because we didn’t have breast cancer in our family, I would never do it, but the day my mom and I made appointments, when we got the results, mine was positive.   I had stage 1 breast cancer.  I have had over 32 treatments and they are not pleasant, but I am so glad they caught it in time,” said Perez.

“Yvette is dedicated and a real asset to our delivery operation,” said Manager, Customer Services Jordan Beabout who honored his employees with a continental breakfast that included cheesecake.
