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. During those two hours, I am asking everyone to mask up and I will do the same:
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).
