Update #11: Final Donor Collage!

Posted on November 16, 2011

Dear Friends,

Here is the final gathering of donors for the Goin' Home CD Kickstarter project.

We're so grateful to all of you for your amazing support and generosity.

In the following collage, some of the stills are avatars representing people who could not or chose not to provide a picture.  We've built this up slowly throughout the project and now it is complete.  

Just thought you would enjoy seeing a most special gathering of your new family...
