Hi Kaitlyn,
I’d be interested in a meet up and know of four other Postcrossers in the area that I could get the word to. 3 of them I know from the Denver Postcard Club (want to join?) and one from the forum. Stanley Marketplace and late October are good for me.

I plan to be there (with my wife Beth, who helps me pick cards for Postcrossing). I’m one of the Denver Postcard Club members Lydia mentioned!

Hi, I’m Dede!

I have it on my calendar and look forward to meeting everyone.

I am a longtime Denver Postcard Club member, having joined in 1991. I am currently the Membership Chair but will be giving up that role the end of the year when newly elected club officers take on their positions.

Not only am I a Postcrosser, but also a local dealer in vintage/collectible postcards. I participate in the local Denver Postcard and Paper Show held three times a year!

Postcards have been part of my life since I was a young girl!

Look forward to the meetup!

Oh man, NOW there’s a meetup in Colorado after I move! :laughing: I would love to receive this card if anyone is willing to swap with me, though I do not have meetup cards myself. Please let me know what your interests are and I will see if I can accommodate. :smiley:

Hi Kaitlyn,
