Auctions for the Scholarships!

Hi Everybody!

I hope you’re all having a great start to the new year!

I wanted to make a quick announcement for a little fundraising sale I have going on right now.  Over the years I’ve been given a lot of pens specifically to sell for the scholarships.  I’ve also got a couple of my own that I’d like to contribute to this as well.

I have 10 items up for auction right now, from a Stipula Etruria to a Kaweco Sport.

Check it out!  If you have any questions just ask – [email protected]

Thanks!

Happy New Year! Scholarship update and pen winner.

Happy New Year everybody!

2016 was an insane year for us and I hope that 2017 keeps us on our toes in the same way.  Thank you all SO much for your business and support.

Newton Pens Scholarship Update: Another month has come and gone and you’ve all been so amazing with your contributions.  Thank you so much!  In December we raised $943 through postcard and notebook sales, and offline donations.  Thank you so much!

At the end of each month I randomly select somebody who has participated either through purchasing items, donating, or by sending a note in the mail, to win a $225 credit.  With this credit you get a free nib grind (if you want one) and free shipping.  This month I picked #17 with random.org and #17, Francesco C. won.  Congrats!

If you want a chance to win a pen credit, all you have to do is buy some postcards, notebooks, send a donation, or just write us a letter.  It’s that easy.  Newton Pens Scholarships is an official 501c3 organization so your donations are tax deductible if you choose to donate without purchase.  If you have any questions about that just write.

To enter for free you only need to send in a postcard or letter, with your name, email address, and a statement that you are entering the free raffle, to:

Handwriting MUST BE LEGIBLE.  I can’t contact you if I can’t read your writing.

That’s also the address to use if you want to send a donation via check or money order.

Newton Pens Scholarship Update – November Pen Winner – Website

Hi Everybody!

Another month has closed (and it’s finally winter!) and more money raised for the Newton Pens Scholarships.  We had 25 contributions this month (thanks!) and when I put my hand in the hat (random.org) to pick a pen winner (thanks for contributing to the scholarship fund folks) I pull out number 12!!  Romona A.!  You’ve won a pen credit ($225- free nib grind – free shipping)!  Congrats!  And thanks so much for contributing to the scholarship fund and helping us to help kids with their futures.

Thank you all so much for all you’ve done in the last few years.  You all raised $219 this month.  Hopefully we’ll raise more next month and have more to give to some deserving students at the end of the school year.  We’ve raised $2957.00 for the year!  Thanks!

Remember, if you want to get some postcards they’re on sale.  If you buy 2 sets or more they’re $5 per set until the end of the year.  I really want to move some of these out of inventory so we can get some more sets made up.  I have lots of really great art lined up.

Every penny raised goes towards scholarships for high school students.  You can learn about the scholarships and rules to the raffle here.  The raffle is free to enter by just sending a note to me:
PO BOX  6084
Hot Springs, AR. 71902

You are also entered if you buy postcards or pocket notebooks.

Here’s what we have left.  You can buy sets from here.

If you want pocket notebooks you can buy those here.

When you buy a set of cards or a notebook, you’ll be given a number in the order that you bought your items.  At the end of the month I draw from those numbers and pick a winner.  You can’t win if you don’t enter!  🙂

October Pen Winner – Happy Halloween

Hi Everybody!  Sorry I’m a couple days late making the scholarship announcements.

Halloween had me really busy this year.  My kids wanted custom costumes from the movie Aliens.  They can’t watch the movie yet, but the monsters are still cool.

Here we have a facehugger –
