Janis Ian is preparing for a last North American Tour (see her website for information)! After moving and downsizing, most of her memorabilia has gone to the Janis Ian Archives. She's also picked a few items to sell in order to benefit the Pearl Foundation. This is one of those items.Janis says:
"You know how there's never a pair of tweezers when you need one to extract a particularly annoying piece of onion from an otherwise onion-less tuna salad sandwich? Remember searching desperately for a toothpick in the middle of nowhere when you have a piece of grass stuck in your teeth? Remember Swiss Army knives? This was made by the same company but rather than a knife with various blades and accessories, it is about the size of a thick credit card. I kept it in a guitar case on tour for years and years, just in case. As you can see, it has scissors, tweezers, a nail file, a small screw driver, a toothpick, and a very thin ballpoint pen. It also has a ruler on the side of the case. Victorinox still makes them but they are not nearly as cool of these vintage ones. It's signed by me. (Of course. Who else?)"
Like all other items listed from this account, 100% of the proceeds after eBay fees will go to the Pearl Foundation*. This is an opportunity for you to get a vintage Swiss Card and support good works at the same time.
The winner needs to pay for this item within two days of the close of the auction. It will be shipped within two business days of receiving verification of payment.
Thanks for looking and thanks for your support of Janis and The Pearl Foundation.

The Pearl Foundation (named after Janis Ian's mother, Pearl) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charitable foundation providing scholarships for "returning students". It's
funded solely through donations from fans, friends, complete strangers, and Janis Ian and Patricia Snyder. We don't have board meetings in The Bahamas or pay any salaries; everything but the actual tax preparation and filing fees is donated. Our annual costs have never exceeded ,500 (the cost of tax preparation and filing), and so far we have given away over ,235,500.00
in endowed scholarships.
