New Phone Number for Porter Cafe
The phone number at the Porter Cafe will change to (507)
296-4635 effective on January 18. The old phone number: 296-4496
will remain active until the new number is active on January 18,
but both phone numbers will not work at the same time, if one
number is not working when you call on Wednesday, try the other.
If the phone number (507) 296-4635 seems familiar to you it is
because that was the Cafe's phone number from July 1988 through
August 1, 2011.
Porter Cafe Under New Ownership
On January 9, 2012, Sherry Brown of Porter took ownership of
Porter Cafe and Grocery. If you're looking for a great breakfast
or noon meal be sure to stop in or call ahead at 296-4496.
Friday, January 13 will be the first Friday Night Supper under
new ownership and a mixture of shrimp, chicken and salad bar
items will be available as well as regular menu items.

US Postal Service Pauses Closer Decision Process for
Porter Post Office
The Porter Post Office Closure Decision has been placed on pause
until May 15, 2012 when decision proceedings will resume. The
delay is a direct effect of Senate and House of Representative
inquiries into the decision making process and the impact of
closures on small communities such as Porter. The delay will
also allow the US Postal Service to re-evaluate alternative
options to reduce their deficit spending. Not all Post Offices
are safe from this delay, however, hundreds of US Post Offices
are being closed in December and January and hundreds of Postal
Distribution Centers will be closed in the coming months as
well.
The community support and campaign to support the Porter Post
Office has made a difference, but it must continue to make a
final impact when the decision making process resumes in May.
Click Here for ways that you can show your
support of the Porter Post Office and keep it off of the closure
list for good! The only way to keep the Post Office from closing
is to fully patronize its services including usage of PO Boxes
(some in Porter have stopped receiving rural route mail delivery
at the road and have opened a PO Box in the Post Office in
recent months), purchasing of stamps through the Window and
mailing letters and packages inside the Post Office.
