📌 Important: USPS Postmark Changes & Room Reservations

You may have seen recent updates about how the USPS is handling postmarks—and this could impact your HSC room reservation. The committee uses postmarks when assigning rooms, so here’s what you need to do:

• ✅ Take your reservation inside the post office
• ✅ Ask for a hand-stamped postmark

It only takes a few extra minutes, and it ensures your reservation is properly dated—much better than explaining to your family why you didn’t get a room!

More details on room reservations are coming soon!
