We were amazed to hear from so many school teachers that attended the show, who all agreed that this is the reality that they face each day. As a result of your donations, sales from raffle tickets and submissions from the Trade Market table, we were able to raise $1046! Thank you to everyone who supported Got A Pen? at the show this year Congratulations to the following winners of the raffle: First Prize: Amy Goble - Gorgeous art piece by Calligrapher Susan Tyler Second Prize: C Bedford - Lamy 2000 50th anniversary black amber ballpoint pen Third Prize: Marietta Davis - Calligraphy book Please be advised all trade market sales will be settled in the next seven days and we will contact you each via email soon!
