:world_map: CITY/REGION: San Mateo, CA
:round_pushpin: MEETUP PLACE: Hillsdale Shopping Center (Food Court)
:calendar: DATE: Jul. 14th, 2024 (Sunday)
:alarm_clock: TIME: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
:page_facing_up: MEETUP PLAN:

Postcrossingā€™s 19th birthday. It needs to be celebrated by our local thriving Postcrossing community!

:point_up: Please make sure to read the Meetup Guidelines before signing up for a meetup.

What are we going to do?
-Signing meetup cards (maximum of 30 postcards to pass around per attendee)
-Get to know each other more (this is very important because this will link to a future meetup)
-Food fight! (Iā€™m kidding)

What should you bring?
-To save time and energy, strongly suggest a rubber stamp with your name. Or you can also print half inch or smaller stickers with your name. Up to you. Rubber stamps do smear, especially if itā€™s not quick drying ink. Or just bring a good pen or marker! :writing_hand:
-Postcards you want to get rid of. Yeah, all those annoying ones! :stuck_out_tongue:
-Bring a quirky hat or any sort of headgear :cowboy_hat_face:
-Your wallet with license if youā€™re driving and if you want to buy something :sweat_smile:
-Your drunken happy self! :star_struck:

This cute postcard is designed by @capybaracrossing. Please order by Jun 26!

Hello! My name is Sonali, and I am from San Diego. This will be my first meetup in the Bay Area (and my first non-SD meetup). Does this work as an RSVP? How do I put in an order for the meetup postcards? Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome. How do you organize your meetup? Do you play games with prizes? If so, Iā€™d love to contribute. I think I RSVPā€™d by checking ā€œGoing.ā€. Would you please verify? Thank you!

Hello! Iā€™m Abran from the LA area. That weekend I will be in San Jose to attend Obon the day before the meetup so I wonā€™t have to go far on Sunday. Would be an honour to meet you Bay Area Postcrossers! See you then!
