Hi Everybody! End of the month and time to announce the winner of the drawing.
For the month of July we all raised $522.83 with 36 entries. Using Random.org number picker, Dehua L., #14! Congrats! I’ll send you an email to discuss what to do next.
So if you want to buy some cool postcards and help contribute to the scholarships, it’s time! 🙂 Just pop on over to the postcards page – Postcard Sale and Donations – and buy some postcards! If you want to enter for free, or learn about the scholarships, then please read over this page – https://newtonpens.com/newton-pens-scholarships/.
And something a little new and very exciting; somebody started a GoFundMe for the scholarship! Shortly after the GoFundMe was put up a local magazine, The Springs, contacted me for an interview to talk about the scholarships! Such an exciting month!
So let me see if I covered everything: money raised, winner, postcards, GoFundMe, new things, oh yeah!
Don’t forget about the pocket notebook cover contest! The deadline is August 15th for art submissions. Size is 3.5×5.5″ and needs to be black and white. It can be anything you want, but needs to have Newton Pens Scholarships written on it somewhere, somehow. It can be small, large, hidden, bold, whatever. After the art is all submitted I’ll put up a survey monkey thing so we can vote on our favorite art. I’m going to have 2 styles using Tomoe River and 28# white. Hopefully the response will be positive.
I’ve only gotten a few submissions so far. Art with the most votes wins a pen. Second place will win something else. Maybe a nice bottle of ink or a Lamy Safari or something like that.
Please holler if you have any questions about anything at all.
Thanks!
