VOLCANO, CA — On Friday, Jan. 10, 2014, Margie Soracco will follow a proud tradition dating back to 1851 when Ephriam W. Gemmill served as the first Volcano Postmaster. Soracco will raise her right hand at a 1:00 p.m. ceremony to take the official oath of office as Postmaster of the Volcano Post Office, 16120 Main Street, Volcano CA 95689. Rosemarie Moreno, Postmaster of Pine Grove, will administer the official oath of office.
Soracco started her U.S. Postal Service career as a postal support employee at the West Point Post Office in April 2012.
“I am enjoying getting to know the people in the Volcano community,” said Soracco. “I am dedicated to working hard and providing quality service to my customers.”
Soracco, 39, has a daughter, Corina, 14, and they reside in West Point. She worked in the real estate field in Amador and Calaveras counties for seven years. Soracco has long roots in the region, with five generations of her family residing in the area.
