NOVEMBER 2025

Club Meeting at Fort Mason Center 

Nov 22, 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.  Lauren Thor will speak on Parisian postcards. Paris in the decades around the turn of the century was a symbol of modernity. I t was a showplace for novelty, new technologies, new styles and new ways of living.  Postcards, in their variety of subject matter and sheer volume of production, provide us with details of everyday life that few other sources do.  The program will feature postcards that illustrate Parisian life in "Gay Paree" during the Belle Epoque era.  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 will be the last club meeting for 2025.  The next meeting will be in January 2026.  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.
