I am so excited to attend my first meetup. I’ve never been able to find a localish one.

Looking forward to meeting you in October.

I am from Washington DC, which is about 4.5 hours from here. This is the closest meetup to me though, so I might make the drive to attend because I really love postcrossing and have been wanting to go to a meetup for a while :sweat_smile:

Great news! If you decide not to drive – perhaps take the train from Washington DC to Trenton NJ. Then take the Riverline (light rail) from Trenton NJ to Bordentown NJ. The Library is walking distance from the Riverline. It will be a .8 mile walk.

Looking forward to meeting you. Always, Barbara

I really want to join, I live in NYC area. Is it possible to have a ride from someone along the way (I know it could be very inconvenient for other people)?

And I am surprised there is no local meetup group.

^^ A New York City meetup would be awesome!

Here’s how you can get to Bordentown from NYC.

Take NJ Transit Rail
NY Penn Station to Trenton NJ. Trenton is the last stop. The trip will be 1 hour 28 minutes to 1 hour 37 minutes depending if you’re on the express or not.

Once you reach the Trenton Transit Center, take the Trenton Riverline to Bordentown. The Riverline begins at Trenton thus Bordentown will be your 2nd stop. This trip is 11 minutes.

The Bordentown Riverline station is approximately .8 mile from the library.

The other option is NY Penn to Hamilton then Uber/Lyft to the Library.

Hope you can make it. Let me know.

Agree. I would certainly make an effort to attend a NYC meet-up. I do go in NYC for the Postcard Shows hosted by the Metropolitan Postcard Club of New York City. The May 21st show is on my calendar - I’ll be there going through the quarter boxes!

Hope you can make the Bordentown NJ event.

Would anyone be willing to send me a card from this meetup?
My Mother grew up in Bordentown on Elizabeth Street and I’d love to have a card from there.
(I grew up in nearby Groveville).

Please let me know and perhaps I could send you one from San Diego.
Thanks!

I will. Send me your address.
The card is 75% done. I’m waiting for sunny spring or summer day to photograph the card image.

I’d love to join this meetup from Mount Holly! Hopefully I won’t have other plans. I’m thinking to take my husband to join the ghost tour and depends on how much the tickets. I’m excited and hope to see you guys there!

It will be great to have you at the meet-up. In the summer, I will reach out to the tour company regarding rates, possible group discount,etc. Once I have that, I will do an update here.
