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

The Summer Performing Arts Company Box of Pens

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 Recycling Barrel Now at City Life in Santa Rosa

Pen Recycling Barrel Now at City Life in Santa Rosa

City Life community center has a for a long time now graciously allowed me to have pens mailed here at 2425 Mendocino Ave in Santa Rosa. They were even more gracious when I asked them if I could put one of my pen recycling barrels in the front lobby. Now not only can you mail pens here but you can if you want go down and drop them off your self. They have been very supportive with my Million Pen Drive so I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

City life community center is a very unique place, it used to be a Heald college location and now its a place where many organizations meet and hold meetings during the week. They have ballet and martial arts classes, 5-6 churches meet there such as City Life Fellowship , Giving Tree Church and others. Hope Works is also located there, a non profit organization that is gang intervention and inmate reentry program. Its a great place to find great information about local events and meetings that are happening all through out the week.

The New Pen Donation Address is:
The Pen Guy – P.O.Box 994 – Forestville, CA 95436

Pen Rainbow Inside the Mercedes Pens on the way to Art Car Fest

Pen Rainbow Inside the Mercedes Pens
Its nice to finally have enough pens collected to be able to create an entire pen rainbow on the inside of Mercedes Pens Art Car roof. I just finished this beauty yesterday and with a colorful interior like mine, a rainbow seemed like the right thing to do. The inside is the safest place to do this considering the sun and weather eventually destroy all pens on the outside of the pen car. I know its a weird shape but I still have more space to fill out the area around it with more pens. I have less than a month to get ready for the big art car event called Art Car Fest September 25-27th, so I need to get busy repairing the missing and damaged pens. Art Car Fest is three days of hanging out with other art car folks showing our creations to the public. I will also be collecting old pens so if you have them please fill free to come and drop them off, I would love take them off your hands. Think of all the free space you’ll have for more stuff.

This year you will be able to enjoy art cars at Art Car Fest at these locations:

Day 1 – Friday, September 25th

Day 2 – Saturday, September 26th

Day 3 – Sunday, September 27th
