CITY/REGION: Colorado Springs, CO
MEETUP PLACE: Pikes Peak Library District–Rockrimmon Branch
832 Village Center Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919
DATE: January 21, 2023
TIME:10:30AM to 3:00PM
MEETUP PLAN:
Postcrossing is about sharing our appreciation for connection and mail through postcards. Postcrossing naturally creates community.
One goal for this meetup is to create community within the local members of Postcrossing.
Look for the sign in front of the Rockrimmon Library. Once inside, turn to the left and look for the “Meeting Place” sign above the door. There’s ample parking along with a grocery store and two restaurants nearby. There are restrooms inside the library.
We’ll use name tags to get to know one another. There’ll be space on the name tag for the year you joined PC, your card count and a favorite postcard theme, whether sent or received.
The commemorative postcard design is included here. Please reply with the number of cards you are interested in purchasing. Cards will be 30 cents each. I will order the postcards on January 6th, so please submit your count by January 5th at midnight.
There will be a giveaway/swap table for postcards, stamps and washi tape to share with fellow members. If you have postcards to share, this is a great way to do so. You might even find some you want in return. We will provide coffee, tea, and cookies.
There will be a group photo taken at the start of the meetup. Participation is your choice.
Each attendee will have an envelope with their commemorative cards inside. We will have tables set up around the room, where you can lay out your cards and people will move around the room to sign postcards at each station.
Bring your favorite pen or stamp to participate in the group signing. We recommend a stamp no larger than an inch round/square.
Periodically throughout the meetup, there will be “60 second pitches” where the PC members can promote businesses, gatherings, swaps, community events, and upcoming meetups. Please connect with me prior to coordinate.
We kindly ask you to not attend if you are sick. I’ll happily sign cards for those unable to attend due to illness and I imagine others will be happy do the same. Thank you.
Feel free to ask questions here or send a message directly to TallJTallA.
Thanks in advance for your interest in a Colorado Springs Meetup–it’ll be fun!
