    Calling all pen turners

    FREEDOM PENS NEEDS YOU.

    We have had a request for 6,000 pens from the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln. At this point in time, I have no pens left to send as I have just shipped out the last 500 pens I had.

    If you have some time on your hands please make some pens for the cause.
    Our service men and women need to know how much support they have here at home.

    Let's see if we can provide them with that support.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Maybe?

    Jackie, I have threatened to send some pens several times and have, as of yet not done so. I have several kits that I don't sell anymore because they are of an inferior plateing. (24 k gold) Would these be suitable for the freedom pen project? I don't want to sound cheap, but I would gladly part with them. If you want them send me an address for shipping. It will take me a few days to get them made........I may also send some better one's ....best regards, Paul

    A Box on the Way

    I just packed a box of about 30-40 pens (I forgot to count) and will mail them tomorrow.

    A few more are drying and I'll start a second box.

    I suspect we are a long way from 6000, but will keep going.

    Getting ready for production!!!

    Hi Jackie,
    The school year is getting ready to start here in RI and I will be happy to contribute as many pens as my students can turn out to you for this crew. My goal is to contribute at least 200 pens over the course of the school year from Davisville Middle School students.

    Getting started

    Hi all - This sounds great, how do I get started? Is the bulk rate still available? Do I just Paypal the funds or do I need to place an order with someone first? What kits are available - want to make sure Ive got the bushings needed when they arrive. Please let me know - Im heading out to the workshop to cut some blanks!!
