HI, This meetup is still on. I will have meetup postcards for you to autograph and mail. How many you receive will be determined by how many people attend. I am making 500. At our last meetup two years ago we had 43.
You should bring your own drink. There will be snacks available. Also, a pen or rubber stamp with your name or postcrossing ID on it. And some addresses of those you wish to send too. You will also be sending one to yourself. We will be exchanging ideas and information about Postcrossing membership and our own statistics. And just about anything else.
If you have more specific questions, please ask.
Demaris
I have been doing and attending meetups for a few years. I have meet many Postcrossers and add them to my list of those who collect meetup postcards. Many are from other countries who have attended a meetup in the US.
At my meetups I supply the meetup postcards for every attendee to autograph. Then I divide the up according to how many attend. For the Phoenix I am making 500 postcards as last time we met there were 43 attendees.I am thinking of having a meetup in Buena Park Postcard Show in January. Just haven’t ironed out the plans at yet. I live in South Texas.
My sister lives in Mesa, Arizona so I visit her at the same time as the Phoenix show. The show in Buena Park is January 21 and 22. If I have a meetup it will be on the 22th.
I have been collecting postcards for over 60 years so have many duplicates to trade. I have a box of postcards of various topics that I use for sending to those names I receive on Postcrossing. Some I have had printed with photos of local places, my farm or interesting events.
I am the advocate for National Postcards Week, which is the first full week of May.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
hello demaris,
today, your postcard arrived today. i am sorry that i could not attend - but the omicron virus is way out of control over here. keep hearing that another friends catching it. i do hope the event went great! and thank you again for the postcard.
I didn’t go to the Phoenix meetup hosted by Demaris, but I went to her California meetup in Orange County. She had extras of the Phoenix meet up card. If anyone was curious it looked like this.
