Letter carriers to be honored

The U.S. Postal Service and Rocky Mount Post Office will honor letter carriers Tim Balkcum and Wayne Calhoun next week for their recent induction into the National Safety Council’s Million Mile Club.

The Million Mile Club recognizes drivers who have gone at least 30 years without a preventable motor vehicle accident. The recognition ceremony will take place at 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the Rocky Mount Carrier Annex at 2451 Postal Drive.

The Million Mile Club is the highest honor given to a professional driver in the workplace by the National Safety Council. Balkcum and Calhoun, both local residents, earned this unique recognition as a highlight of their 30 years of government service
