CITY/REGION: Rochester, Minnesota MEETUP PLACE: Rochester Public Library (101 2nd St SE, Rochester MN 55904), 2nd Floor Meeting Room DATE: 09/14/2024 TIME: 1:00-3:00 pm MEETUP PLAN: Commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Doctors Mayo USPS stamp in the hometown of Mayo Clinic! Optional:At noon, we will meet at the Feith Family Park(1st St SW between 3rd and 4th Ave) where several statues tell the story of Mayo Clinic. I’ll narrate the rest. On the way to the library (a 10 min walk) there is an opportunity to stock up on MN/Rochester themed postcards at the Eagle Store.
Like last time, I reserved the 2nd floor meeting room of the Rochester Public Library from 1 pm - 3 pm. The 2nd floor is connected to the Civic Center Parking Ramp (on 1st Ave SE) and all of downtown by Skyway, parking is free on weekends. We’ll sign cards there and chat. Bring your favorite postcard(s), washi tape, stickers, stamps, pens. And your best postcrossing story! We’ll have a space to trade/recycle as well.
A meetup postcard has been designed in two variations! It will be available for purchase at $0.25/card to offset my printing costs. Every attendant is invited to create and print their own postcard design following guidelines, but all attendants should be able to order postcards from them.
After 3 pm, feel free to stick around for coffee, beer, pizza, ice cream, etc. (tbd) in Downtown Rochester (optional).

I split my postcard order 250 to 100 in favor of the beige background.
Cards will be available at $0.25 per card or a bundle of 20 for $5, payable at the meetup (cash or venmo). I am asking everyone to limit themselves to 20 cards max. to sign (more for taking if there are still leftovers at the end).
There will be door prizes or maybe even a bingo game. Not sure if i can pull the latter of yet, it’s still a while out …
