I plan to be there, along with a friend who introduced me to postcrossing. Thanks for organizing!

I hope to make it! I’ve never been to a meet up before but I hear great things :blush:

Demaris- It looks like I will be home for the Chester Meetup! Yeah!

I would like to get 100-150 cards. Will you have that many? I will gladly pay you for them. I can also print some of my own if necessary. Thanks-

13

More background- Currently I am ranked at 104 in the US for sent postcards. I am trying to get in the top 100. Meetup cards are quicker to send then other cards, so I plan to send a lot from the meetup. I went to a meetup on World postcard day, and I sent many cards from there.

Hi! I just moved to Virginia Beach and am looking for other Postcrossers! Could you let me know when you’ll be having another meetup? Or does anyone know of groups in Virginia Beach? I attended meetups in San Diego whereI lived and I’m missing my people! Sue :blush:
