Link Love: Stationery Community Controversies

I am still a little vague on the specifics around what has actually happened with the Pelikan Hub events but many local events were cancelled by Pelikan and many attendees were “uninvited” to the events. Hubmasters do not have the contact info for people who were uninvited so they cannot reach out and let them know about the event, invite them without swag from Pelikan or just organize a non-Pelikan-sponsored meetup. Needless to say, all the Hubmasters I know are working hard, on their own time and dime to try to salvage the event and make a chance for people to meet-up and celebrate their love for fountain pens. If you received an uninvite, please know you were not alone and the whole situation is muddled and unacceptable. If you have additional information, were selected as a Hubmaster or had your event cancelled, please let us know in the comments if you have additional information around the event. I’m surprised that Pelikan has not gotten in front of this controversy and explain…
