Thursday, September 13, 5:30 pm- 8:30 pm: Write Now! hosts Houston’s 3rd “Postcrossing” meet up
- If you are interested in "postcrossing," please come to the third meet-up, this Thursday. Current group members will offer tips and instructions on how to participate and the many different things available on the website and the forum.
- The group is considering an unused postcard swap, so if you have cards you may want to trade, bring them.
- Postcrossing is an online project which allows its members to send and receive real postcards from all over the world. The project's tag line is "send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!” The idea for the project was created by Paulo Magalhães, who started the site on July 14, 2005. He was simply motivated by the fact that he liked to receive mail, especially postcards. “The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you’d probably never have heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises – and who wouldn’t like that?”
