Goverment Agency to Recycle Pens

Five Pen Recycling Bins on the Hood of the Mercedes Pens

Pen Recycling Bin in Action

Its not often that I get governmental cooperation to help me collect a million pens but last week I did. My source within the agency made some inquires and got permission to place five pen recycling bins around the office and then called me with the go ahead on the project. I did some recon and found the best bins for the best price at Walmart , and then proceeded to attack them with glue and pens. The result, five beautiful pen recycling bins for use at the secret government location somewhere on planet earth. To all of you pen recyclers at the facility thank you and thank you to the higher ups for making it happen:) Can’t wait to come by for that visit:)

Massive Pen Donation by The Summer Performing Arts Company

Around the end of November I received what is probably the biggest box of pens from so far from The Summer Performing Arts Company and I wanted to thank you guys for doing that. These promotional pens where left overs and were found quite dry so naturally they sent over to yours truly who is still trying to figure out a good place to glue them.

The Summer Performing Arts Company, or SPA, is an eight-week summer arts program available for students in the elementary, middle and high schools in Grand Forks, North Dakota and the surrounding communities. These programs are instructed by staff from the Grand Forks region (including the Grand Forks Public Schools and the University of North Dakota), as well as special guests from around the country.

Thank you so much:)

Pen Guy Lecture at Sebastopol Senior Center

Last Tuesday I had the privilege of doing my first “Lecture” at the Sebastopol Area Senior Center who provide activities, classes and events for adults of all ages. My lecture was really a short visit to talk about the Mercedes Pens Art Car and the my future plans to collect a million pens collect and have a couple of root beer floats:) It was a lot of fun and after wards we went down to the Pen Car to take a closer look inside. I was invited to come by Emily Webster who also publicized the lecture in the Bohemian including a mug shot in the front to my complete surprise. The day after I got this great email from Emily and this is what she had to say about it.

“Aren’t you wonderful! Good job here at the Senior Center . You are a good personality, energetic and very very likable. Everyone is for you. We all want to see you succeed with your wonderful pen ideas. We want to see you all over the world collecting pens. Oh, by the way, thanks for volunteering your time here. We all had a great time with you.”-Emily Webster
