CITY/REGION: Ann Arbor, Michigan
MEETUP PLACE: Ann Arbor District Library Pittsfield Branch, Muskrat Room
DATE: 10/01/2023
TIME: 12-2pm EST
MEETUP PLAN: Let’s celebrate World Postcard Day together! We will meet at 12pm at the Ann Arbor District Library Pittsfield Branch, Muskrat Room (Pittsfield Branch | Ann Arbor District Library). There is ample free parking adjacent to the building.
I’ll have 250+ of the official WPD postcards on-hand, free to participants while supplies last. AADL is also donating some postcards. Bring whatever postcard writing supplies you desire (e.g., pens, postcards, stamps, stickers, washi tape, recipient names/addresses). Hope to see you there!
I’m providing them for free to participants while supplies last! I am also investigating if the library will provide some of their excess postcard inventory (they made some cool ones this summer!).
Per library policies, “AADL spaces are not available for raising or collecting money. Rentals and reservations in AADL facilities may not be used to solicit or collect membership dues, or to sell a service or product. Admission may not be charged.”
Thank you for organizing the meetup! I don’t think there have been any since I moved to A2 in 2019 (COVID sucks ) If AADL has excess postcards that would be cool too - I really like their designs but can’t get all I wanted Looking forward to meeting everyone!!
I am new to Postcrossing! But live in Michigan and am interested in more info. is this just a meet and greet? Do we fill out cards while we are there? Can you be from anywhere in the state? Any info is helpful
Thanks! Sally
This page has some FAQs and general information about Postcrossing meetups:
Short answer: anyone can attend, from anywhere. The planned activity is postcard-writing and socializing. Bring your own supplies, but we will have some postcards on-hand free for participants while supplies last.
Just realized that I forgot to make this post earlier: I’ll be there. I was planning on making a trip to Ann Arbor sometime in September originally; October 1st works for that instead.
Some photos from the library - lots of overflow space in the event we don’t have enough seating in the Muskrat Room. Bonus: some AADL postcard sets donated for the event.
