What:

On Monday, Sept. 20, the Bostonia Post Office will commemorate a once-a-century alignment of the date on the calendar--9.20.21--with its ZIP Code--92021.

The alignment of calendar dates with ZIP Codes occurs only once a century and in relatively few locations nationwide.

The alignment will be marked by the sale of special commemorative envelopes at the Bostonia Post Office that feature a “92021 Date Meets ZIP” postmark, as depicted above. The special postmark will also be available at that office to cancel mailable items presented by customers.

Bostonia residents are invited to visit their Post Office to enjoy refreshments, obtain the commemorative cancellation and to purchase the special envelopes, which will be available while supplies last.

Customers who cannot visit the Bostonia Post Office on Sept. 20 are invited to join in a virtual celebration of the occasion via Zoom, from 11:30 a.m. to noon. The Zoom will be hosted by El Cajon Postmaster Tamara Vielguth, who oversees the Bostonia postal facility, and feature remarks by El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells.

“We’re excited and honored to host this rare event,” said Vielguth. “It recognizes the unique ties between USPS and our community. As outlined in USPS’s Delivering for America plan, we are committed to serving the changing needs of our customers, from Boston to Bostonia.”
