Donations have slowed a little this past week. We need to continue the efforts to build this fund to the point where we can supply the vast majority of pen kits and pen blanks to those who are supplying their time and talent to this project.
As of today I have received $2,248.62 in cash donations. This fund has already supplied 775 free kits/blanks to turners involved with the project. I have ordered 500 more kits with these funds to satisfy free kit requests and bulk buy sales.
We have approximately 100 individual pen makers who have participated in the bulk buy and free kit programs, or purchased their own kits for the project.
There are also groups of Turners' organizations and schools involved which in my estimation gets the number of people turning pens to somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 folks. More people are coming on board every day. I get requests/orders for kits on a daily basis. So more funds are essential.
Urge your friends, relatives, neighbors and business associates to contribute to the fund.
Contributions can be made by check or by credit card. Details can be found here: Freedom Pen Project Donations (http://www.oldrebelworkshop.com/donations.htm)
