TURN FOR TROOPS - HELP US TURN PENS FOR OUR U.S. TROOPS

Turn for Troops is a national initiative started by Woodcraft in 2004 to bolster the spirit of active duty and rehabilitating United States military service members. Woodcraft of Rockville will host a turning event the weekend of November 8 & 9, to assist volunteers in handcrafting wooden pens, which are then sent to the troops with personal notes from the turners. The gift of a unique wooden pen sends a message of appreciation, love, and support to both active duty service members and those in hospitals or rehabilitation centers. Turned pens are packaged and sent around the globe, with cards and information about how the pens were made. Simply put, anyone can turn a pen during the Turn for Troops event.

There is NO experience necessary to volunteer. The Montgomery County Wood turners will be here to assist you in the process of turning a pen.

There is also NO cost involved. Donate your time, and Woodcraft will provide all tools, supplies, equipment, and safety gear you will need. Just drop in at Woodcraft of Rockville on Saturday, November 8 from 10 am - 5 pm or Sunday, November 9 from 10 am - 4 pm.
