Good question

We are running out of hours in the day right now------it's show season and we are way behind already.
FPP has been around for years and will be around for many more------there is a listing on thier site for IAP memebers-----right now it shows the first 53 pens we shipped.
You can always ship your pens directly to them and add a small note saying that your pens are from IAP.
I started this because they where out of pens and I wanted to collect some for them plus I thought it would be great if this was done by us as a group.
There is a link at the top of the IAP home page to FPP.
As a personal note----this has been a great joy for us----seeing so many folks jump in and help was great---I wish we could of done more but we will raise 300 pens and that is a good thing.

Here is the address to FPP

Freedom Pens Project
c/o Northwind Associates
8770 Little England Road
Hayes, VA 23072

I didnt see this until today, so my plan tonight is to get some turned and shipped directly to FPP. I'll definitely plan better for next year and just keep a box handy, to toss a few in as I go along so they are ready when I see the post.

I'll bet there isn't a penturner out there who doesn't have a box of culls. Not technically "seconds" but pens you wouldn't photograph and send it to be shown. You know the ones...wrong kit, wrong wood, bad combination of woods, experiment gone wrong....you know the ones. They are the ones in the bottom drawer or the box that you keep under the table at the show. Well, here's the chance to get rid of them for a good cause. We all gottum so let's box them up and send them to Gary. I sent him 5 a couple of weeks ago and it should have been more. So I'm putting another 10 in the mail tomorrow. We all can do it.


So send Gary as many old pens as you can right now.

Gary, I'll have to send mine direct to FPP, I wouldn't get them in the mail until Tuesday at the earliest. I don't want to hold you up.

Thanks for promoting and organizing this little drive for FPP.

Got 5 of them off today. Hope that they get there in time. I included a note to let them know that it's an addition to the IAP's end of the contribution.
