2016 Newton Pens Scholarship Post Cards!

Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody!

I hope you’re having a great summer so far.

 

I just received the newest set of postcards to start the fundraising off.

 

The old set is in the top row, and I still have about 25 sets for sale. The new set is on the bottom and contains art from two local schools. As the new school year gets going I plan to collect art from all of the local schools. I have 50 sets of the new cards for sale.

During the entire month of July, if you buy a pack of student art postcards you’ll automatically be entered to win a pen, just send $10 via PayPal to newtonpenspay@gmail.com and I’ll give you a number AND you’ll get a pack of postcards in the mail (so be sure to include your mailing address in the PayPal note, use commas to separate parts of your address). Every penny raised will go towards the scholarships and support students. Yes, you can buy as many postcard packs as you want, and for each pack, you’ll get a number.

 

AND! Newton Pens Scholarships is now an official 501c3!!! Wahoo!!

The raffle itself is free. If you want to enter the raffle without supporting the scholarship or helping graduating seniors (or getting any of those cool postcards) then all you have to do is send a note in the mail to:

Shawn Newton
PO Box 6084
Hot Springs, Ar. 71902

 

Everybody who enters will be given a number in the order of postcards purchased and letters in the mail, and at the end of the month I’ll draw a number to pick the winner of a custom pen. I use random.org as a number picker.

 

Raffle pens are limited to c/c filling system, steel nib of any size with any grind you want. If you want any extra customizations, bands or rings, special filling system, gold nib, or anything else, there will be normal charges.

 

I will announce income for July and the winner of the custom pen on the last day of the month as close to 9 PM Central US time as I can get.

 

The drawings are free for all to enter, from all parts of the world. No restrictions at all.

 

If you have any questions please ask – shawn@newtonpens.com

Shawn, that is awesome news (about the "official status"). Congratulations. And the new postcard designs look great. Those are some talented students.

Thanks! And yes they are really talented. I can't wait to get more work from more kids this year.

 

And we're at 40 entries! 10 more days to get in on the July drawing. :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
