I. === Next meeting

Meeting topics:
1. We could always use more help in organizing the club. Any volunteers?
2. Suggestions on increasing membership.
3. Suggestions (and volunteers) on activities at the L.A. Pen Show to get more members (see below.)
4. Should we have a reservation system (and someone who volunteers to help out) to try and
reduce buying too much food.


II. === Dues are due…

Dues are due. Club dues are $30/year. The dues pay for renting space, and for food at meetings.

NEWS – we now have an official Pen Club checking account!
Checks should be made out to Pan Pacific Pen Club.

You can give Todd (treasurer) a check at the next meeting, or mail it to:

Todd Eberspacher
PO Box 455
Millbrae CA 94030



III. === Los Angeles International Pen Show

The Los Angeles Pen Show is approaching, President’s Day Weekend (Feb 11-14)
http://www.lainternationalpenshow.com/

The L.A. show is one of the largest I the country. If you’ve never been, think of a club meeting, only 20 times larger.

Should the club do anything to attract new members at the L.A. show?? PPPC member Ricky Chau is now a member of the PCA board of directors, and may have some ideas how the two organizations can work together to increase our membership.

Other ideas are: including a PPPC information sheet in the show registration packet, members wearing a special badge, or putting something on their table, to promote the club.

Bring your ideas to the meeting…

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Jan 30 in Berkeley,

Mark (club secretary – announcements and addresses)

and

Todd (club treasurer - $$)

Our policy has been the same for as long as I can remember - you are welcome to your come to your first meeting, and then decide later if the club is right for you.

If you decide yes then dues are due.

We have people of all levels of collecting, and all levels of expertise. It's a great place to find a new pen, ask someone about that mystery pen that you have, or find someone to repair a pen. You can sell pens, trade pens, buy a pen, or just soak up the inky ambiance.

You know you've had a good meeting if you leave with ink stained hands :)
