A help on Navigating the website and an important note about publishing content
7/14/21: Please notice the links above to other pages on this site next to SC STATE ASSOC. OF LETTER CARRIERS: Please notice the + sign next to (SCSALC pages). This means that there are other pages associated when you click on it. Notice that there is no plus sign next to (Dates to Remember). Clicking on this will take you to that page. In summary, when you see a + sign it means to click on it to find more pages. If this website is at all to be a useful tool for the membership, then the voluntary contributions of members and the mandatory input of all officers who should be bound by the by-laws to submit content need to send me content to post. As the editor and editor only, I don't care if the content is postal related or not. Branches could post a branch page on this site. I have brought this up at each State Convention to no avail. Some Officers have never, not once, submitted anything for publication. Please check out the officer pages to see who is and who isn't making an effort for the benefit of this State Association and the membership of dues paying members. I will always acknowledge submissions sent to me if I am aware of the attempt. At this next State Convention, some changes must be made regarding this website, including possibly taking down the website. I am saying only this about some of our Officers in that they may be fine people helping their branch and the state association, but they should be providing content to fulfill their by-law obligations or we should change the bylaws and possibly take down this website.

9/5/21: I haven't been sent any details but my understanding is that SCSALC will be voided and redone. I will post something when I receive information. I heard this maybe about a week ago.
9/5/21: Please see my new content, my statement, on the top of the webmaster page. Click here
9/5/2021: Thank you John Monta for your contribution to this website as an officer following the bylaws. His article addresses a little of his history with the Post Office and to contact your representative to support HR82 which is the social security fairness act which will greatly help retirees helps those under civil service to collect their full social security. There is a lot of support for its passage. Click here or navigate to John's page.
9/1/21: Thank you Michael Hamilton for submitting content concerning masks mandates. Please check his page for details or click here.
9/1/21: I deleted some older content, mostly on this page and in this section. I added a very stern rebuke of some of our State Officers at the top of this page under Navigating... If anyone notices any old content that needs removed, then please let me know. Also, in purusing the site I came across a page dealing with deceased members. We can if branches want to let the entire State know when a member passes but this page has a sample letter written by John Monta to possibly aide in the difficulty of contacting a deceased member's family. Thank you John Monta. Good letter.
8/15/21: President Michael Hamilton sent me the following notification that our State Secretary Sarah Scott has resigned and effective August 1st of her replacement: "Announcement to all state branches, that S.C state secretary. Sara Scott has resigned from the position as state secretary.
We would like to thank Sister Scott for her excellent and diligent work while serving as state secretary.
And would also like to announce the appointment of Sister Aisha Culler, from branch 233 as the new state secretary.
I have full confidence in Sister Aisha Culler, that she will be an excellent and proficient replacement.
And I asked that all branches assist and cooperate with her during this transition period."
Thank you
Michael Hamilton
S.C state president

2/21:Pictures for a big deal, at least for me (David Kopp). I made a slide show of all the pictures sent to me as well as a few choice pictures to highlight my last day at the post office February 25th. My co-workers put together a very nice party celebrating my career and retirement. I was very impressed and moved by the event and very thankful. They even wrote a poem. I will share a little of the retirement process from shared services and social security on the webmaster page or click here.
Other big deals for me was that my daughter, Abigail got married a month or two ago as well that my son Andrew, and Katheryn had a a baby a couple months ago and that I am now a grandpa. I will post a picture or two.

2021 post: NOTICE: Some Officers are submitting information and content as per required by the By-Laws and some Officers are not. Numerous reminders, both kind and demanding have been sent by the webmaster to get them on board with contributions to no avail. It is unfair to the Officers that are making contributions and I feel that if this site is to continue, then some measure of accountability needs to be merited out to the offenders by the delegates at the 2022 State Convention to at least the extent of an admonition and further actions if it continues. These Officers are in violation of the State By-Laws that govern our activities, and our by-laws either mean something or they don't.
Please, I am looking for contributions from the membership and OFFICERS; pictures, videos, personal, postal, non-postal items are needed.
To make contributions to the website EMAIL davidaakopp@hotmail.com. PLUS TEXT ME AT 864-907-3804 TO LET ME KNOW OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION SO I KNOW TO LOOK FOR IT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS POSTED IF I AM AWARE OF YOUR SUBMISSION. You can also go to the webmaster page on this website to directly email me there. Click here
