MEETINGS & MEMBERSHIP A brief business meeting begins at 7 p.m. Postcard competition follows. For this competition, members present a single card or a poster board of several cards on a specific theme. The people in attendance study the cards and vote for their favorites. This monthly competition is open to all members and is a way of showing different postcards from private collections. There is a small monetary prize for first, second and third place winners. After a short break, there is a program, usually a speaker presenting some facet of postcard collecting. Local history or unique postcards are the most frequent topics of the monthly programs.
