:page_facing_up: MEETUP PLAN:

In conjunction with the PNW Pen Show, we will be having a Postcrossing Meetup. We will be at the Clackamas Town Center mall food court to sign postcards and socialize. Grab a coke from the food court, or a meal if you’d like, and sign postcards.

Other directions: the food court is on the north side of the mall, right next to the movie theater and a (large) bus stop. If you enter off of Monterey Avenue, you’ll be on the right side.

Please hit the blue GOING button to RSVP. Thanks!

The PNW Pen Show will be held at:

Monarch Hotel
12566 SE 93rd Ave
Clackamas, OR 97015
this is a 4-minute drive, 0.8 miles away from the Meetup Venue (the mall).

(The show is also open on July 12, 13 and 14, 2024.)

The Pen Show details can be found on their website https://pnwpenshow.com/ and Instagram (pnwpenshow). They will have a long list of vendors, some classes and a ‘no-kill’ fountain pen ink station. PNW Pen Show Ticket rates are below - and totally dependent on if you want to attend.

Our Meetup is FREE, and near the Pen Show for interest, but people are not obligated to attend either one.

-Meetup Cards will be made, but smaller batch than usual.

  • (optional) $0.20/card - cost for Meetup cards (if desired)

I’ll also be bringing a few Meetup postcards from the April 21, 2024 Portland Meetup event.

For convenience and efficiency, bring your Self-Inking signature stamp or stickers (1/2 inch or smaller), you’ll thank yourself later! I got mine made at www.rubberstamps.com – but Etsy (Riley Print), VistaPrint and other venues offer similar stamps.

Is it connected to the Pen Show? Which has a very expensive admission cost? Larry

Hi Larry,

The Meetup will be held close to the pen show, and the Meetup card will be fountain pen themed.

However, there is no obligation to attend the PNW Pen Show.

More details to come soon!

Thanks for the invite, sounds like fun! Unfortunately, that is the weekend of the Marion County Fair in Salem and my granddaughter is in a horse show there. Hope you have a good turn out and please let me know when the next meet-up is. Penguingrandma
