Pens for Troops

Our donation for 2023 was slightly less than 2022 totalling 414 pens with 40 of those going directly to Kuwait due to the letter right that was received before we shipped our completed pens to Woodcraft.
Photos of the donations for 2023 and a photo collage of the pens sent directly to Kuwait are below.

I was passed one of your hand-crafted pens on my recent deployment in Kuwait and was very delighted. I enjoy crafting many of my own things by hand and this pen has been one of my favorite items to have received on a deployment. Along with the pen I received a business card with these to emails and I wanted to first send a heart felt thank you to whom crafted the pen and ensure you know that your work is greatly enjoyed. I also would like to see how I could go about ordering a few more for my Soldiers currently here that I work with regularly. Can you please provide me the cost and estimated time it may take to ship? I would only need 40 pens to provide my section with one each. Please do not worry if this is not something you can do, I just felt it was worth asking and again thank you for what you did send, I will enjoy it as it reminds me of my shop and hand crafted projects.

Pens Sent Directly to Kuwait

As stated above, one recipient of a pen contacted the club directly requesting 40 pens for the soldiers he works with. The photo below is the group of pens sent to him in Kuwait for distribution to his fellow soldiers.
