Dear Backers,

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support you have demonstrated for this collective. 244 backers and over 150% funded - we could not have asked for better.

For those of you that would like to be updated about our progress and workshop schedule, please consider signing up for our mailing list here:

http://fixerscollective.org/main/...

Though we'll check up on all of you through our Kickstarter account from time to time, our listserve will be the primary way we stay in touch this year.

Here's to fixing in 2011!

111% Funded 173 Backers

Update #3 · Dec 29, 2010 · 4 comments

Fixers Collective is currently 111% funded for 2011, supported by over 173 backers!

We extend deep gratitude to all those who participated in funding this project.

We are all flattered and heartened by this outpouring of support, and rededicated to fixing ever more brokenness in 2011.

Remember, there are still 50 hours left to donate - probably your last chance to score an umbrella bag, or on-site fixing consultation this year. Please continue to tell your friends about the Fixers Collective, every backer makes the Fixers stronger.

Though our dire fiscal needs are now met, additional funding and support is still extremely useful to the collective. Getting to the 150% maker will enable us to program even more learning workshops in 2011, and also to provide support for other collectives that are popping up all around the country.

As one of our backers said: Fixers is something that needs to happen EVERYWHERE! We agree! Please continue to support the Collective. We can't wait to see you at Proteus Gowanus in 2011. And please be in touch if want to start a branch of the Collective in your home town. We want to help.

Half Way There! Please Spread Word!!

Update #2 · Dec 22, 2010 · 2 comments

Dear Fixers,

We've raised over $1000 in the past four days - now we're over half way to our funding target! We're doing great, but we need to keep up our momentum through the holiday. If you do one thing for the Fixers during this campaign before Christmas, please let it be this:

1. Reach out to one person who you know will love the Fixers Collective and politely and enthusiastically ask them to support this worthwhile project!

We'll post another progress update in a couple of days. Keep up the good work!

Also, Merry Christmas!!

FC
