Newton Pens Scholarships - Pen Raffle For September


watch_art

Recommended Posts

Now that August is over and September has begun, it’s time to start moving those postcards again!

 

So far we’ve raised $1297.67 for this year’s scholarships!

 

During the entire month of September, if you donate or buy a pack of student art postcards you’ll automatically be entered to win a pen. When you purchase a set of cards or donate I’ll give you a number. Every penny raised will go towards the scholarships and support students going to college. Yes, you can buy as many postcard packs as you want, and for each pack, you’ll get a number.

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

 

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

 

You have to let me know in your note that you’re entering the raffle, and you have to include an email address that I can reach you at.

 

Everybody who enters will be given a number in the order of postcards purchased or letters received 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 September and the winner of the custom pen on the last day of the month.

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

I'm reaching out to the local schools now about getting art for the post cards so we'll have all sorts of new art in the next few weeks I hope. :)

You are a good man, Shawn Newton and what you are doing for these students is awesome! I would encourage all FPN members to support this project.

Agreed. This is a great thing you do for the students. They will not forget your kindness.

Anyone like Ray Bradbury? Please read "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair" if you have about 12 minutes.

 

You will not forget this wonderful gem that is largely obscure and sadly, forgotten. http://bit.ly/1DZtL4g

This is indeed wonderful work. I donated though I didn't buy the postcards bc a) I'm de-cluttering and b ) don't want the cost of postage to the UK to take away money from the scholarship! Very worthy project.

Only a few days left to get into the September drawing. Remember all money raised goes to scholarships that help kids with college expenses.

Just over 37 entries so far.

      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
