| |  Pens for the Troops
I have started this thread as a follow on to the Sticky started by Toni, "Suggestions for pens for the Troops"
This is thread is to acknowledge the receipt of any pens sent.
1st acknowledgement is a thanks to "Sundowner" for the pens he sent in last week.  
Sundowner put a simple tag attached to each pen, stating his name "sundowner' and the type of wood it was made from.
I will engrave any pen with what the donor wants if the person donating so desires(as long as it is deemed safe i.e. not a security risk)
Woodenink has also donated some pens.
Tomorrow will see the first shipment of 29 pens be sent off.
As you are able please send in the pens, if you need my address please PM me or DJ. thanks Amos

Darn, knew I should have got into gear faster - sent mine Friday arvo. Guess they'll take a couple of days to get across the great divide.

No worries JD, will be sending again in two or three weeks, so keep sending in, hoping we will get some feedback from those that receive them and if so will post their responses. Amos

That's great news - well done to all involved.
Amos, do you need a financial contribution? Are you having 'out of pocket expenses' doing this?
