Activities and details

  • Meet up cards will be left out for attendees to sign; this is optional but highly encouraged. Remember to bring your personalized stamp for easy signing.
  • Socialize, prepare cards, swap etc.
  • A free Trash and Treasure table will be set up. Leave cards you don’t want and grab ones you like!
  • Prizes will be distributed for Postcard Trivia and Longest distance traveled
  • Feel free to bring some simple snacks (this is a public space and we don’t want to do lots of cleaning at the end).
  • Group Photo
  • I will have an outgoing box for postcards to be sent out.
  • Some of us like to find a local spot for lunch; feel free to ask if you are interested in joining us afterwards!

We can’t change World Postcard Day, so that’s still October 1, 2024.

Richard42 is moving, right around that time. He will know in about 2 weeks if he can make it. I want to come, just cannot commit yet. Both of us need more time to figure it out but we do not want to miss out. How many people can you host?
