OCTOBER 2023
Oct. 21, 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-230. 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. Chinese postcard enthusiast Dennis Owyang will show cards and recount the thrilling adventures of the youngest of China's first-generation movie stars, who disappeared from the limelight at the peak of popularity in 1928. Her many fans lived out the rest of their lives believing an erroneous 1944 news report that she died in a plane accident. Chinese Internet information on her would not be updated until her biography in 2007, finally revealing her amazing second career as a modern-day Mulan, leading to glorification in an American comic book, an American bubblegum card, a street name in Switzerland, a magazine cover in South America, a park statue in Canton, and her archives at the Smithsonian. In her second career, she charmed a new generation of fans, including actress Anna May Wong and diplomat Hilda Yan, and became China's best wartime ambassador to the U.S. We are meeting in Room C-230. This meeting particular will occur on the 3rd week of the month rather than the 4th week. 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.
