I can maybe attend, how soon would you need to know for ordering meet-up cards? Thanks

@WiscoFamily
No worries about that. I always order more than enough cards, so even if you wait until the day of the meetup, you will be able to get cards :slight_smile:

Ok thanks! I’ll see if the rest of the Wisco family can/wants to go. We haven’t been to Madison in awhile so waking around there and meeting other postcrossers would be fun!

Great! We’d love to see you there!

I hope to be there. If I can’t, can I buy a meetup postcard?

The Spring Meetup card 2023 edition is now available. Well, it’s at the printers but I should have them by 9th April.
They are 25 cents each and you can message me with your order. They will be available for pickup at the Meetup. There won’t be time to mail them out in advance.
