Smile Pens recieved Suh.

Howdy all,


Just a quick update, the pens for troops in Sinai have arrived. Just need to wrap them up for Christmas and write an article for the local newspaper and the Defence news back home.

Simomatra,

I'll PM you later and get some names and numbers of pens donated and other background information.

cheers for now
Eddie

Thanks Cookie and Michael, and a big thank you to Graham for the donation of the kits. I am not sure how long the pens take to get OS but the last lot went through fairly quick.

I get my second eye surgery done today so will have lots of time to sort out the pens and get ready for mailing. I have been getting all my other chores out of the way.
