pete Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Since I have found such joy and pleasure in leatherworking over the years, my wife and I give to HHV- the hospitalized vets program. Not advertising to anyone to follow suit, but if you are interested go to www.hhv.org. I couldn't believe how many "famous" people are involved, mostly hollywood and sports figures. The cost is minimal and they send craft kits to the vets. These are leather and woodworking kits they get for $8.00-regularly $20.00+ and send a card allowing you to "personalize" the gift. The time that they spend in the hospital forgetting their wounds and using their hands and brains is priceless. AGAIN- NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT- but something that I wanted to make all you great leatherworkers aware of. Regardless of your decisions- SUPPORT OUR VETS! thanks for reading this. respectfully pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
