One of the missions of the Woodworkers of Central New York is to contribute to the community in which we live, practice our craft, and enjoy.  Supporting the men and women who protect us through their service in the United States Military is one of our worthy projects.  How do we do it?  By participating in the annual Turn for Troops program sponsored by Woodcraft.  
There is no Woodcraft store in Syracuse so individual members turn groups of pens in their shops.  Sometimes the club sponsors a weekend workshop for members to turn their pens in a group setting. Woodcraft generously donates the pen kits and wood, sending them to our club coordinator, Larry Prunotto.  Larry then packages the materials for members and distributes the packages to volunteers.
Participation over the years in this program is steady.  Since we started in the program in 2014, our group has donated 1736 pens.
