In september, on 15, the meeting of the Romanian postcrossers in the year of the Centenary of the Great Union took place in Cornu, a commune located in the northwest of Prahova County, on the middle course of the Prahova river, 90 km north of Bucharest. It was founded in 1583, by refugees fleeing from other localities in the path of wars. On its territory is the church Ascension of the Lord of the former hermitage Drăghici Spătarul (18th century, rebuilt in 1811).

At the initiative of Mihnea Răducu, between December 1 2017 and December 1 2018, so in the year in which the Romanians celebrated the centenary of the Great Union, took place every month a meeting of the Romanian postcrossers, and at each meeting has been edited a postcard to recall this exceptional event for the Romanians.
