Denver Postcard Club

Our next meeting of the Denver Postcard Club will be held on Sunday, April 12 at the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library, Annex Building located at 2048 S. Pontiac Way. Doors will open at noon for early postcard shopping. Meeting begins at 1:00 PM.

Our program will be presented by author, Elizabeth Fox who will be sharing stories with us from her book, "We are Going to Be Lucky: A World War II Story in Love Letters".

The book tells the story of a first-generation Jewish American couple separated by war, captured in their own words through letters exchanged from 1943 until the end of the war. The book is edited and annotated by their daughter, Elizabeth Fox.

Come join us for an enjoyable afternoon!

REMINDER:

Please join us this coming Sunday, October 12 for our monthly meeting. Doors will open at noon and the meeting will begin at 1:00pm.

Don't forget - the show and tell postcard topic for this month is cards with tourist cancellations or auxiliary markings! (inspired by Steve's presentation last month).

We look forward to seeing you there! Guests are welcome!!

Explore the ‘lost history’ of Denver’s Manhattan Beach amusement park Today, Denverites still stroll around Sloan’s Lake but most of them probably don’t even notice the small plaque that marks its past.

ATTENTION: DENVER POSTCARD CLUB MEETING WILL BE HELD THIS SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2025 - ONE WEEK EARLIER DUE TO NEXT SUNDAY BEING MOTHER'S DAY!

Time: Doors open at noon. Meeting begins at 1:00
Program: Our own Lee and Jane Whitley will be sharing information from their latest book, Cherry Creek: A History of the Valley

You will learn about the gold discoveries, stagecoach lines, a railroad, floods, dams, and a canal/irrigation system supporting cherry orchards on land known as the Clark Colony. These have all contributed to the rich history of the Cherry Creek Valley.

Today, the 42-mile-long Cherry Creek Regional Trail provides access to many historic sites along the creek.

If you have any postcards featuring military/veterans to share, be sure to bring them.

We look forward to seeing all of you on Sunday!
