CITY/REGION: Rochester, Minnesota
MEETUP PLACE: People’s Food Co-op, 519 1st Ave SW, Rochester, MN 55902
DATE: June 4th, 2022
TIME: 1-4pm
MEETUP PLAN:
Let’s start with a short tour of Downtown Rochester (Mayo Clinic - usually much more quiet on a Saturday) by meeting at noon on the Annenberg Plaza at the “Boy on a Dolphin Fountain”. We can also use the opportunity to shop for cards.
At around 1 pm, we’ll settle down at the PFC (patio or in their indoor cafe area, weather permitting) to sign cards and chat. If you’re way too familiar with downtown already, you may join us here.
A meetup postcard has been shared below. $0.25/card to offset printing costs.
Welcome to Rochester!

I let everyone know about this meetup at the Madison meetup today. Heather said she would like to go, too! I’ll ask around. Someone else might be interested in carpooling with us

I made a card - it’s available for cost-splitting purchase at the meetup. A quarter per card - I have plenty printed …
It would be great if everyone attending would let me know if I’ll see you at noon for the small walk (about 10 blocks, I’d say) or right at around 1pm at the People’s Food Coop (entrance on the corner of 1st Ave/6th St SW). You could buy your lunch right there - or coffee and treats if that’s more your thing.
Parking in Downtown Rochester is free on the weekends, there should be plenty of parking either along 1st Ave SW, in the 3rd St Parking Ramp (off 1st Ave, 3 blocks north of the PFC), or (if you’re skipping the walk) in the PFC parking lot - due to the everlasting construction in the downtown area, entrance is only possible from the east on 6th St.

Hi Sandra,
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to go. My husband just came down with Covid yesterday and I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be around a bunch of people, even masked. I’m really hoping I don’t get sick as well. 
If it’s possible, I would like to get 10 cards. It’s ok if they are unsigned.
Disappointedly,
-Kristina

I’ll get the cards on your way!
Hi all. Can any one come to the meetup even if not a member? Thanks.
This meetup is open to all members of postcrossing. You just have to show up in person.
Are we meeting in the cafe area at PFC? I will be the pleasantly plump, blond lady in a demin jacket and polka-dot shirt. See you all soon!
