Chester,Virginia meetup November 11, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m not from the USA but my brother and my SIL live in Virginia and I would really love to have a postcard from a meet-up there. Would anyone be happy to send me one? I am happy to do a swap for it. Thanks!

Hi,
I would love to swap a meet up card.
In return you can choose from a meet up card from this weekend in Bielefeld. It’s signed by the participants.

Making my plans to attend my first meetup! Three years into this hobby, and thoroughly enjoying it. – Bill from Virginia Beach

Thank you for Responding . just to be sure ,people bring postcards to share with the other attendees and then everyone signs the post card ? That would mean each post card could have multiple signitures ? If I’m understanding this correctly, there wouldn’t be much space to put on information about each person who is signing the card?

It’s really depends. Some people have postcards made specifically for the meetups and that would be the one that everyone signs.

www.rileyprint.com is also a good place to buy rubber or self-inking stamps.

I’d be happy to send you a meet-up postcard from the Chester Virginia meet-up, assuming we have postcards to sign.
Demaris, our beloved meet-up organizer, passed away October 30. All the cards for the meet-up are in her home. Her family has no idea what cards need sent where. We may not get cards in time.
Please send me your mailing address to
kathymccormack56@gmail.com
and I’ll do my best to get a card sent to you.
Kathy
PS; Love the black cat, reminds me of my cat Bob that passed on 20 years ago.
