At least once a year, the club holds a group build day to make writing pens. On December 14, 2021 Bill McGinnis of the Siouxland Woodturners presented 100 “M-16” writing pens to the Disabled American Veterans, the Society of the Purple Heart, and the Vietnam Veterans of America. These pens will be given as Christmas presents to the veteran patients in the Sioux Falls Veterans Hospital on Christmas Day. These pens were made by members of the Siouxland Woodturners at their meeting on December 4, 2021, at Harrisburg High School. Members of the Siouxland Woodturners appreciate the sacrifice that these veterans have made for our freedom.
These classes are offered through the Sioux Falls Community Education and the instruction is provided by members of the Siouxland Woodturning Club. The link to their online class catalog and sign-up is below.
