So Cal Pen Collectors Club - Official Notice/invitation

[Greenie]

Our next meeting will be May 27^th. Yes, we know that is a three day weekend for some but meeting on three day weekends have worked in the past.

Fred Krinke has, again, been kind enough to open up his store for us to meet: THE FOUNTAIN PEN SHOP, 2640 So. Myrtle Ave. Unit 12 Monrovia, CA 91016.

We’d LOVE it if a member would be able to volunteer their home or office for a meeting. We might be having a meeting in the fall at an outdoor event. Also, in the South Bay area. Both are tentative.

We are working on a guest speaker from another type of club that might just be symbiotic with ours. Since I’ve not received a confirmation yet I will not disclose what is planned.

The meeting will be at our traditional time, from 12 noon to 3:00 p.m. The usual mass quantities of pizza will be served. You are invited to bring snacks to share. If you are going to bring drinks please provide single serving bottles/cans.

I've been pretty much a solo collector since getting into the hobby and finding the online community a few years ago. Is this meetup open to new people like me?

YES! I am in OC also.

 

Everyone is welcome at the meetings. Just show up.

 

You will be hit up for $10, for the year, but that covers a lot of pizza at each meeting.

 

There will probably be an OC meeting in the Fall.

 

There seem to be a bunch of "below the radar" OC collectors. It would be nice to have an OC Pen Posse if we could create a local list.
