Saturday, November 14th, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
With two full days, there promises to be something for everyone at this Show. From beginner to
advanced collector, the vendor population will have everything from 25c boxes of cards to that special elusive postcard rarity. Archival postcard supplies will also be available.
Located just off I-95 exit 61B, at CCWA on the Campus of John Tyler Community College, 13101
Jefferson Davis Highway, Chester, VA. (Approx. 12 miles south of Richmond). A donation of $3 is
requested, good for both days. Plenty of free parking. Anyone with an interest in history or art is
encouraged to attend.
ODPCC PRESIDENT’S CORNER
With the ODPCC Show fast approaching, I
thought it would be good to note a few things
about it. Everyone in the Club should take
pride in these facts:
1. To my knowledge, this will be our biggestShow ever, with 32 Dealers signed up (see
Dealer list). This can be attributed to many
factors, including excellent location and
site, increased publicity, and member participation.
2. Vendors and collectors alike are very happy
with the JTCC location, with easy access off
the Interstate, and the facility itself, with
plenty of space and great lighting.
3. Publicity has expanded to several “events”
prior to the Show. Kay Seidenburg has a
Nurse postcard exhibit at the VCU library.
That opening was well-attended, and Art
made sure everyone knew about the Show.
We currently have 15 exhibit boards on dis-
2015 Chester Library Display
ODPCC Club Members and Chester Library Staff
play at the Chester Public Library, which
is attracting a lot of attention. Thanks to
all who supplied past Show display
boards! And Tim O’Gorman did a book
signing at the Antique Village, which was
another opportunity to “spread the
word.”
4. BARR’s Postcard News did an article
based on our press release, which gives
us national exposure, in addition to the
paid ads I’ve run there. I just heard that
the Chester Village News also picked up
on our press release and has an article in
the latest issue.

5. Member participation includes volunteers for various duties during the Show.
Harriet (Cookie) Cook says this is the first
time she’s EVER had all volunteer slots
filled for the front desk prior to “Showtime!” Thanks to all who have been distributing the Show cards to area shops,
malls, and friends! Also, I’m confident
that members will come through again
this year with a fine spread of food for
the Thursday evening 7 p.m. “Meet &
Greet.” With the record number of vendors, we’ll also need a record amount of
food and drink! Dealers are always impressed with our Virginia hospitality. It’s
also a great time for Club members to
meet the dealers prior to the Show.
6. I’ve heard several members who have
never entered an exhibit board say they
are preparing one (or more) for this
years’ Show. Our Exhibit Board competition is another thing that sets us apart
from many other shows. Please make an
entry this year, and don’t forget that in
addition to the ribbons and other judging
prizes, there will be three $50.00 drawings that each of your entries makes you
eligible for (limit one cash prize per person).
7. This just in: Cynthia Martin, our
“professor judge” from John Tyler CC is
“encouraging” her students to attend the
Show Friday morning with an assignment
to each create a postcard (front and
back) and display it at the Show. We will
provide a space for that purpose. They’ll
be judging their creations, and please
give them words of encouragement when
you see them there. I also suggested that
we could give them a “tour” of the Show,
and explain how to look for cards they
may be interested in. I remember how
intimidating it was for me at my first
Show. Anyone interested in helping with
that on Friday morning, please let me
know. She said it’s a small group (eight),
but this is a great opportunity for us to
explain our hobby and “recruit” some
younger postcard enthusiasts!
Everyone I’ve talked to is looking forward to
our 38th Annual Show. Let’s make it not only
our biggest, but our BEST ever! With your
help, it will be!

October Minutes
The postcard show committee met before our regular
monthly meeting and approved printing and mailing an
additional 1000 cards for our November show and also
increased the food budget for Thursday night's meet and
greet to $130. We will have a half page article in Barrs
Postcard Magazine and another announcement of our
November show.
Twenty one were in attendance at our October meeting
including visitor Anne Rappe who collects cards from
around the world! Rather than a dealer we had a silent
auction tonight and a number of boxes of postcards were
made available for sale by a handful of our members.
MCV continues to display Ann Seidenberg's large card
collection and is also available for viewing online with a
link at our website.
Thanks to all who signed up for the meet and greet Thursday night social and we have complete coverage of the
sign in table throughout the show.
