PHILATELY = Pictorial Cancellations Announcement 94-18 As a community service, the Postal Service offers pictorial cancellations to commemorate local events celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of upcoming events for which pictorial cancellations are authorized appears below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial cancellation appears in italics under the date. Also provided, as space permits, are illustrations of those cancellations that were reproducible and available at press time. People attending these local events may obtain the cancellation in person at the temporary post office station established there. Those who cannot attend the event, but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit a mail order request. Pictorial cancellations are available only for the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial cancellation date. All requests must include a stamped envelope or postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail postage (29 cents per envelope or 19 cents per postcard). Items submitted for cancellation may not include postage issued after the date of the requested cancellation. Such items will be returned unserviced. Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of choice, address the envelope or postcard to one's self or others, insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: PICTORIAL CANCELLATIONS, followed by the NAME OF THE STATION, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP+ 4 CODE, exactly as listed below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except the hyphen in the ZIP + 4 code). After applying the pictorial cancellation, the Postal Service returns the envelope or postcard through the mail.

The United States Postal Service is committed to providing a work environment free of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment, improper and unlawful conduct that undermines the employment relationship as well as employee morale, includes: • Making or threatening to make employment decisions based on an employee's submission to or rejection of sexual advances or requests for sexual favors. • Deliberate or repeated unsolicited remarks with a sexual connotation or physical contacts of a sexual nature that are unwelcome to the recipient. • A sustained hostile and abusive work environment so severe that it changes the terms and conditions of one's employment.

Employees who are found to have engaged in sexual harassment should expect serious disciplinary action, including removal.

All managers and are charged with the responsibility for preventing sexual supervisors: harassment in the workplace and, if sexual harassment occurs, for taking immediate and appropriate corrective action.

Postal employees who believe that they are the victims of sexual harassment should bring the situation to th'e attention of impartial supervisors or managers.

In addition, postal employees may seek relief through the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint process, grievance arbitration procedures for bargaining unit employees under the collective bargaining agreements, and the grievance procedures for nonbargaining employees.

Report any possible criminal conduct to the Postal Inspection Service.
