July 2-4 2010, Turn for Troops, Handmade Pens, WOODCRAFT, 5311 Airport Hwy, Toledo Ohio

My good friends Carroll and John Nystrom will be hosting the Turn for Troops at their Woodcraft store located at 5311 Airport Highway in Toledo Ohio on July 2-4, 2010.

Turn for Troops allows you to make a handcrafted wooden pen that will be sent to our American servicemen and women that are currently serving their country overseas.

You may say how much does this cost? It's Free ! All it costs is a little bit of your time. All the supplies are donated. Of special importance is that Carroll and John ask for you to write a brief note to the serviceperson including the city where you live. Last year 400 pens were shipped overseas from Toledo Ohio. The goal for this year is 500.

Peter Parker, the national administrator of Turn for Troops believes each time one of our serviceperson’s uses a handmade pen to write a letter home from overseas it is a reaffirms our support of that man or woman overseas.

So this July 4^th weekend stop by and see John and Carroll and tell them Bert sent you.

Hours for the event are July 2^nd from 10am-6pm, July 3^rd from 10am-5pm, and July 4^th from 11am -4pm.
