Welcome Aboard from Franklin, Indiana!
In February we have our Birthday BASH with lots of contests and prizes. You will begin to see a lot of talk about it on here, so check back often.

Take a look at the rules for what is considered the fairest, best balanced competition for all members:http://www.penturners.org/forum/f18/pretty-resin-pen-contest-rules-157766/
