***CLUB MEETING LOCATION***
The ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY OFFICE at 34 Parkview Avenue in Willowdale is our meeting location.
Link to OHS web-site
This elegant, refurbished c.1913 house is in a residential area with free on-street parking after 6:00pm. Accessible by TTC, from the ‘North York Centre’ stop on the Yonge line. Cross to the east side of Yonge and walk 2 blocks north to Parkview Ave., then one block east on Parkview. Cross Doris Ave. to the big red house on the corner by the park. Look for the blue Ontario Heritage plaque out front. _________________________________________________________________________
Club meetings are held mostly every month, but at least quarterly in April, June, September and December. In June, the last meeting before our summer break, we enjoy a field trip to a local venue that has a postcard or historical relevance to the club. In December we celebrate the season at our holiday dinner get-together.
The first half hour is for the exchange of postcard chat and a free coffee. A presentation by a member of the club or a guest speaker on a topic of interest to history buffs and postcard collectors follows. ________________________________________________________________________
SHOW AND TELL FROM A DISTANCE! (for out-of-town Members)
Take a look at the up-coming meeting schedule. If you have a great card or a handful of great cards about a meeting topic that you feel other TPC members might enjoy seeing and hearing, scan or photocopy the cards and tell us a little bit about them. Scan the cards at 300dpi -in colour – and email as a jpeg attachment to editor at torontopostcardclub.com. If sending colour laser photocopies, send by snail-mail to John Sayers. (his address is in the TPC Roster)
In your email or letter please mention which the meeting for which you’re sending the cards. We’ll show them at the appropriate meeting and read what you’ve written. You might even see your name and cards shown in Card Talk and/or on the TPC website!

A question…..has there been any progress in dating the Valentine postcards based on their serial numbers? I seem to recall that such an effort was being made some time ago
Thanks

I have several old postcards and cannot scan/send via computer.
May I attend your meeting, show these cards and possible get some
information about them?
With thanks…Susan

Years ago, I used to be an avid collector, and a member of the TPC. On the occassion of the 10th Anniversary of the Toronto Post Card Club in 1977 I produced a video dedicated to the activities of our club. Some of you may have a copy of this CD.
I want to invite you to view it on YouTube, where is appears under the heading The Toronto Post Card Club, 10th Anniversary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkxbSuWAmPQ&feature=related
There are 6 segments posted there, and you will see most of our old club founding members there. I am releasing it in commemoration of our past president Wilf Cowin.
Please come & reminisce.
