For those Canadians not following the threads in the community area I hold a biweekly coffee break at my shop every other Tuesday. This Tuesday Sept. 26 th is the next one.

What we are working on not is a program to supply knives to Canadian troops in Afghanistan to be handed out for any reason the CO or appointed individual sees fit. The idea is to help boost moral.

The Canadian forces personel who administer this sort of thing have been contacted and are going to set up the program in Kandahar. More information in the Canadian section of the Community forums.

The coffee break is from 7 to 9 and we will be building knives for Kanadahar from a stock of blades that I have set aside for the program. It will be interesting and informative for someone just learning.

The coffee is free.

Give me a call so I have enough coffee. 905 670 0200
 
Carol Tichbourne here,
Our goal is to supply as many knives as we can, custom, factory, whatever we can get or make to our troops presently deployed.

We are working on getting knifemaker or knife enthusiast support in this project, if each of us donated one knife we could reach many of our soldiers - boost morale, let them know they are being supported and remembered. Cards, notes, they help too - there is a seperate address for that.

The knives are being shipped to Shirley in Ottawa(the address is in the other thread in the other section) who is in direct contact with the CO in Kandahar and together they are setting up a program to distribute these knives. (There is alot more information in the Community Section under Canadian Section - Knives for our Troops)

There is a small trickle starting to come in, we do need your support.
I know each and every one of you have your own lives to live, we're all fighting our own battles of survival, whatever they may be BUT, we have a group of men and women in a foreign land that are putting their lives on the line every minute they are away from their homes and families the least we can do is show them that they personally are supported and remembered, and that we pray they come home, not in a body bag but whole to rejoin their families.

Remember for years we have played a peace keeping role, now these people are at war and they have a rough road ahead of them. Please help us support them in whatever way we can. Join with us and be part of our "Knives for our Troops" project.

Thanks for reading - Carol Tichbourne
