The (currently unnamed) pen club was first organized by Michelle at the November 2024 Ohio Pen Show on a single page of B5 paper to collect names and emails, and later sent out a mass mailer to collect info and opinions in a Google Form. She probably still has that sheet of paper.

Our first meeting took place on January 26th, 2025 from 1:15 to 5:00 PM. It was supposed to end at 3:00 but nobody was using the room after us so we kinda just stayed until most of everyone left. About 15-20 people attended! We had way too many snacks, too.
