###SENT JAN. 2nd###
Good morning,

I am collecting a list of names and phone numbers of people from households that need to get their REAL IDs. Please review the documents listed on the attachment and let me know if you need your real ID and have all the documents required. I’ll be providing a list of names and phone numbers to Aleut (Corporation) as they arrange for someone from the DMV to come to Sand Point to provide this service. (February or March) Please share with your coworkers.

I’ll be posting this on Facebook this afternoon, but wanted to make sure our employees all get the message as well.

Please feel free to call me at the office or email me.

Happy New Year!

City Clerk <cityclerk@sandpointak.org>
