Club Meeting at Fort Mason Center 

Jan. 24, 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.  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.  Kathryn Ayres will speak on the Golden Gate International Exposition that was held on Treasure Island in 1939 and 1940. The fair was held in order to celebrate the recent construction of San Francisco’s two new bridges. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was dedicated on November 12, 1936; the Golden Gate Bridge was dedicated on May 27, 1937; and on August 26, 1937, dredging for man-made Treasure Island was complete. Treasure Island was designed as the city’s airport, and the island did briefly serve in this capacity until the U.S. Navy took over Treasure Island as America prepared to enter World War II. The fair ran from February 18 through October 29 in 1939, and from May 25 through September 29 in 1940. Come join us for a presentation that will provide a postcard tour of the Golden Gate International Exposition as attendees saw it at the time. 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.
