The group will meet on Saturday February 23rd , at 1:00 PM at the c(just a block north-east of the I-44/Big Bend intersection).

The St. Louis Area Pen Users (SLAPU) is a group of enthusiasts who use and collect pens and related accessories. Whether contemporary or vintage, attendees gather to discuss their favorite pens, inks, paper and writing methods. Fountain pens feature large in the group's interests, but lovers of quality ballpoint, gel, rollerball and dip pens participate as well. Whether your interest is pens, inkwells, ink bottles, quality paper or calligraphy and penmanship, you'll fit in with this group.

Topics for the February meeting are: sharing pen memories from the '50s and bring your smallest pens for show-and-tell. Also, we'd appreciate it if the photographers among us would share their expertise in photographing items of interest to our pen community; please come prepared to show us how to get started or improve rudimentary skills.
