DATE: August 3, 2024
TIME: 1 pm to 4 pm
MEETUP PLAN:
Hosted by BobLucky7, Just-Anotherartgal, and CherryTempest
Postcrossing eliminated the RSVP function from its forum software. To RSVP, please comment below and I will add you to the list. I plan to keep one list on this post and one on a separate non-web document.
The meetup postcards were designed by Just-Anotherartgal, with a motif inspired by the August 8 holiday of International Cat Day. Pre-orders are closed, as all ordered cards have been reserved (see list below). Any extras will be available for purchase at the meetup, but no guarantees on quantity. Price is 20 cents per card. Pay in advance or on the date of the meetup with either cash, Venmo, or PayPal.

If you have never been to a meetup, people at meetups typically sign meetup postcards. If you do not purchase meetup postcards, it is a good idea to bring postcards to the meeting to be signed. Bring along your preferred writing instruments (or your personalized ID stamp if you have one.) If you would like to mail the meetup postcards from the Olympia area, bring stamps and addresses. There will be a box where your finished postcards can be dropped, and they will be mailed out that day from the Olympia post office.
We will be collecting donations for Joint Animal Services, the shelter serving Lacey, Tumwater, Olympia, and unincorporated Thurston County. This is optional but please donate if you are able. Joint Animal Services has a shelter need list, plus two Amazon wish lists if that is your preferred donation method:
Shelter needs list
Amazon wish list for all animals
Amazon wish list for bottle baby kittens
We have a large meeting room reserved at the library with tables, chairs, and a kitchenette. The room can hold up to 52 people. The library is ADA compliant, and bathrooms are available. There is a large parking lot, which is free and well-shaded by trees. Food/drink can be brought into the meeting room, so please bring whatever snacks, meal, or non-alcoholic beverages you’d like to consume or share. There is a 7-Eleven a short drive away, as well as various fast food restaurants out on Capitol Boulevard.
Event activities include:
•Door prizes
•Blind Swap - Bring 10 postcards in a small bag/envelope to trade.
•Freebie table for postcards, stickers, and washi tape. Bring some, take some.
