Dear Cleveland fountain pen enthusiasts,

The third Cleveland Pen Club meetup is in the books!
We had a great gathering on July 27, just before the DC pen show.
We played a very fun “20 Questions” again, were treated to another presentation from Howard, and enjoyed great conversation around our pens, inks, and papers.
Some super items were brought in for the giveaway table as well.

Fountain Pen Season (haha) is nearly upon us, and there are a lot of coming events to share:
