NOVEMBER 2022
Club Meeting at Fort Mason Center
Nov.
26, Saturday, CLUB MEETING - San
Francisco Bay Area Post Card Club from 11 AM to 3 PM at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco in Building C,
Room C-205. The club meeting will be called to order at 1:00 PM
and the program will follow:
This month's
program is presented by and is about "Emperor Norton," specifically
Joseph Amster in his alter-ego as Norton I, Emperor of the United
States and Protector of Mexico will present a PowerPoint talk about
Emperor Norton. During his talk you will learn about Emperor
Norton—the man and the myth, his rise and fortune, how he lost
everything and became the Emperor of the United States and Protector
of Mexico, how San Francisco embraced his Imperial reign, the truth
about Bummer and Lazarus, The Widow Norton, Norton’s relationship to
the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, his death and
burial, and much more.
Joseph Amster is a tour guide, journalist, historian, California
native, and resident of San Francisco on and off since the ‘70s.
He currently serves as a board member of the San Francisco History
Association and is a founder of the Emperor Norton Legacy League.
In 2011, he and his husband Rick Shelton founded Time Machine Tours.
Because of their backgrounds in the performing arts, they decided to
offer historical walking tours as characters from San Francisco's
history. It has received raving reviews. HOLIDAY FINGER FOOD POTLUCK:
As every November, the
festive board will be groaning under the trays and platters of sweet
and savory finger foods that we each prepare. Cookies or cheese,
anchovies or chocolate—bring what you enjoy sharing. The club will
provide plates, table ware and some drinks. Please remember that we
will be looking at postcards; goopy and greasy tidbits will not be in
order. This is the last meeting for 2022. The next meeting
will be in January 2023.
Fort Mason
and the SF Department of Public Health have stated that people who are
fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are required to bring proof of
vaccination, but are not required to wear a mask, and that people who
are not fully vaccinated are required to wear a mask. It’s
recommended that everyone wear a Covid-19 mask. We will
observe whatever rules are in place at the time. Stay safe.
Please bring cards for Show & Tell, and items for Raffle and Free
Tables.
There is an hourly fee for parking within the gates of Fort Mason Center, but upper Fort Mason (enter at Franklin and Bay Streets) and parking spaces along the Marina Green are free. Parking can be difficult, so come early and enjoy the Goody Cafe, Maritime Library, Greens Restaurant or amble through the community garden, because there’s plenty to see and do. We often gather before 11 AM at the picnic tables or in the exhibit area in Bldg. B. More info on directions, GPS, parking, maps, etc.
