We're honored to present a tribute to beloved former general manager Dan Kenney, whom we lost in 2019 after decades of service.

 
Artist Raphael Tiberino, the Club's current GM, has drawn a sketch paying homage to his predecessor and is offering prints for $50, with  proceeds from all sales going to the Club's general fund. 
 
When you order a print, you'll be honoring Danny's memory and helping the Club survive.
 


About the Club


The Pen & Pencil Club is one of the oldest surviving press clubs in the country. Since 1892, the P&P, as it is affectionately called, has been open daily with nearly no interruption, including during Prohibition and World War II. It is the result of the merging of several membership groups and private clubs dedicated to journalists, editors and other members of the working press.
