Woodcraft will mark two decades of sponsoring its Turn for Troops Turn-a-Thon on November 4 and 5 at participating retail locations across the country.  Since 2004, volunteers of all ages have crafted more than 236,000 wooden pens through the annual event. Please check with your local store, as participation dates and times may vary.

Baltimore-area residents are invited to visit the newest Woodcraft store, located at 15 W. Aylesbury Rd., Suite 700, in Timonium, Maryland. Owners Pres Viator and Laura Callihan opened the new location on Monday, October 16, at 9 a.m. 

What is Turn for Troops?  
Turn for Troops is a national initiative started by Woodcraft in 2004 in an effort to bolster the spirits of active duty and rehabilitating military service members. Woodcraft stores across the country host turning events over Veterans Day weekend to assist volunteers in handcrafting wooden writing pens, which are then sent to the troops with personal notes from the turners.
