DEL MAR, Calif.-The National Council of Postal Credit Unions said its members and others have raised $63,916.95 toward helping Washington Postal Employees FCU defray expenses incurred when it was forced out of its offices in the Brentwood, Md. Mail Facility after anthrax was discovered.
Two postal employees who were also members died in those attacks.
