Pinole Artisans is feeling the pinch like everyone else. So-ooo, just like in the Great Depression, we will have out our tin cup selling pencils for 5 cents each. No, seriously folks, through no fault of my own, I wound up with more pencils of every size and description, including some color pencils, thanI can use in twenty lifetimes. I am donating them to the Artisans, so look out for the tin cups. I will be bringing them to meetings, leaving them at the Gallery and anything else I can think of. I will have the longer ones in one cup and the little guys in another. Then there is what goes into cup number 3? I am asking for a donation to the Artisans of 5 cents for the big ones and one cent for the little ones. You can't beat the price and it is for a good cause!
