Take it IN to the post office if it's important - they will postmark it if you ask!
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark.

Have you thought about year end donations?
If you're one of the lucky folks who has more to give this year, would you consider Skype a Scientist?
We accomplish a wild amount w/a shoestring budget & ONE staff member. Imagine what we could do with more!
