POSTCARD CALENDAR
Highlighted dates are shows produced by SFBAPCC members.
JULY
July 26, Saturday, CLUB MEETING - San Francisco Bay Area Post Card Club from noon to 3 pm at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco in Building C, Room C-260. Kathryn Ayres will speak on the story of Mr. and Mrs. Wong Sun Yue Clemens. In the months that followed the earthquake and fire of 1906, the San Franciscans that opted to stay in the stricken city set about the task of clearing away rubble in order to rebuild. But, Mr. and Mrs. Wong Sun Yue Clemens collected the detritus rather than disposing of it. The interracial couple filled a newly constructed Chinatown shop with melted bottles and burnt crockery that had fused together in the flames. The shop’s front window, painted with the words, Relics Dug from the Ruins, was piled high with broken fragments of former homes and businesses. Naturally, the shop catered to out-of-town tourists -- the locals were still trying to clear away this type of debris in order to begin again. So the Wong-Clemenses literally turned other people’s trash into their own personal treasure. Pay parking will be in effect for Lower Fort Mason Center, but Upper Fort Mason and parking lots maintained by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area will still be free. (Enter Upper Fort Mason at Franklin and Bay Streets.) Parking could be crazy, so come early and enjoy the museums, and coffee bar or Green’s Restaurant. We usually gather before noon at the picnic tables or in the exhibit area in Bldg. B.
