MEETUP PLAN: This meetup is to celebrate the reopening of the National Postal Museum. We will meet up at the corner of Massachusetts Ave and First St NE (next to Union Station) and find a location to sign and send postcards.
Before the meetup, I would encourage you to check out all that the museum has to offer. It’s a really nice not often talked about Smithsonian.

Nice!
I didn’t realize it had been closed. I was actually talking with a friend about going there this past weekend. I guess I’ll have to wait until August 28.
I have contacted Postal Museum staff about tables. If they are not able to provide tables for us to meet, we will fill out cards in Union Station, which is air conditioned.
How do meet-ups work? I’ve never been to one. Is there a cost involved to help cover the postcards printed for the event? Should I bring anything in particular? Thank you in advance!!
Yesterday I visited the museum, and like @Owney mentioned, the loft is closed. So, after we meet at the corner of Massachusetts Ave and First St NE, we will cross the street and find seats at Union Station.
If you have any issues (metro delays, can’t make it, etc.) you can always text my Google Voice number in the original post.
Hi, @PleiadianDragon and @gmirach. Did you find anyone to trade with? If not, message me your address and I’ll send you mine with a pick from your albums to trade. Thanks!
