Many thanks to all who attended our June meeting at the Kitsilano VPL branch on the 18th; I counted at least 35 members in attendance! A warm welcome, once again, to our newest members -- Egon, Reese, Rudolf, Sarah, Stacy and Yoori-- as well as Caroline, who attended her first non-pen-store meeting! 😁 A huge thanks to VPC members Gary & Godwin, as well as Mengxin, for their generosity vis-a-vis the door prizes that were drawn at the meeting! 🙌
We didn't have a "show & tell" at our meeting this month, but it was still a very busy one for me, with lots of enthusiastic newcomers to welcome and the drawing of the many door prizes, so I didn't take many photos. Actually, there are just a couple of photos that I took at the meeting....

This is one of Phil's newest acquisitions---a nice vintage Kaweco 'V4' piston-filling fountain pen with a semi-hooded gold nib 😀
I couldn't find much information about this model, except for
this post on The Fountain Pen Network. If anyone has any info on it, please send us an email at vancouverpenclub@gmail.com
Apologies for the brevity of this meeting report! Information about our July meeting will be posted this week, so keep an eye out for that here on our club's website.
Cheers,
~Maja
