Presbyterian Hospital Letter Requesting Support of Biotech Proposal Arrives Late

WPCNR Sunset Sentinel Courier. August 5, 2002: A letter mailed first class by New York Presbyterian Hospital requesting community support for their biotech/proton accelerator proposal has apparently been either mailed too late to have impact, or has arrived only today in local mailboxes. It requests citizens to attend tonight's council meeting and support the proposal
The letter arrived this afternoon in the Haviland Manor neighborhood, a scant 5 hours before the Council is scheduled to take up the issue. Obviously too late for most citizens to contact the Common Council to have any impact, or attend the meeting.
When was it mailed?
The letter, signed by "The Administration and Staff of New York-Presbyterian Hospital" was dated July 30, 2002, and mailed with First Class postage indicia out of New Rochelle.
Apparently, the post office mistook the first class indicia for third class mail, for it has taken the better part of 4 to 5 days to be delivered to White Plains.
The text of the letter is as follows:
On August 5th, the Common Council of the City of White Plains will be voting on a proposal by New York-Presbyterian Hospital to add a Biomedical Research and state-of-the-art Cancer Treatment Center at our White Plains campus.
For the past 100 years we have been your neighbors, offering the highest quality healthcare services and community programs to White Plains, Westchester County and beyond. With the creation of this new biomedical facility, we are looking forward to enhancing and enriching the delivery of healthcare, community outreach and cancer treatment.
We are asking that you reach out to the Mayor and Common Council to express your support and help make this dream a reality.
Thank for making this effor on our behalf and we welcome your participation at the August 5th meeting.
