Hi Vicki! @mundoo

Thank you for the feedback on our flyer. I have made the edits you suggested and have updated the original post to include the revised flyer.

Note- the image attached to our original post is actually a promotional flyer for the event, and not the custom meetup postcard we will be printing. :smiley: But we will keep in mind these rules for once we create the postcard!

Thank you,
Julia

Thank you for changing the image.

The logo rules apply to all usage which includes flyers, posters etc.

Your meeting has been added to the Postcrossing calendar.

Of course! Thank you. :blush:

My first meetup! So excited to meet everyone. :love_letter:

Do I need to preorder meetup cards?

That won’t be necessary, but good question!
See you there!

If anyone is willing to trade a card with me for the Feb.10th Lunar Year card from SoCal, please send me a pm. Thanks!
Have a wonderful time!

@kanosis
I’ll be at the meetup in Los Angeles on 2/24, I can just bring one of these to you if you plan to be in attendance there

I could trade you for the Lunar New Year meet up card unless you have one?

I won’t be attending the 24th at UCLA.

I was planning on coming, but my car battery died on me this morning so I don’t think I’ll be able to make it. Hope to see you all next time!
