Time to kick off the season in Phoenix for the Desert Pen Collectors (find us and like us on facebook). In Phoenix we all hibernate or travel away during the summer and come out to play in the winter. Not to mention our numerous northern visitors who join us for a few months each year. Looking to set up our 2017/2018 kick off meeting for September 16 or 23. Please respond if you can make it and which date works best. Everyone is back from summer travels and buying trips, not to mention the recent great shows in SF and DC so I am sure there will be some new treasures to share. Bring pens, inks, journals, ephemera.....and cookies are always good too! Location TBD and will be announced shortly. We had a great inaugural meeting last spring and a strong core of pen collectors to build a great group around. Daily users, artists, newbies, and commercial partners all provided a great well rounded group to share and learn from each other. Please reply, tell your friends and plan on joining us in September as we kick off the winter season in Phoenix. Looking forward to seeing you all in Phoenix. Jeff
