    Success (Thank You!)

    Dear PieLab Backers,

    We can't thank you enough for your donations! With your help, we were able to reach our goal of $10,000!!!

    We sincerely apologize for the delay of this message, but the PieLab crew was busy working away to prepare for our Grand Opening. The celebration took place this past Saturday, November 28, and was a huge success! We had an amazing turnout with lots of great pie, great conversation, and great live music. We are working to upload photos to our flickr that you will soon be able to find here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1220257@N24/
    The rewards for your generous donations will be mailed to you shortly. Thanks again!
    –PieLab

    New Video & Construction Update

    Thanks again to everyone who has donated so far! We are happy to see that the donations are still coming in.

    We are getting closer and closer to our deadline, but also are getting much closer to our goal! PieLab construction is coming to a close and we are all excited to unveil the storefront soon.

    Thanks to Daniel Stephens, Brooke Brewer, and Amanda Buck for our new video further illustrating the effect we have had on the community of Greensboro and where we hope to take PieLab in the future.

    Please continue to tell your friends and family about us and our project on Kickstarter.
