I love Hammer Time! If you don't have a facebook page yet, I think you should.
Also, when I searched for your address before getting on the e-mail list, this
is the link that came up:
http://eventful.com/fortcollins/venues/hammer-time-tool-co-op-/V0-001-003490965-3The
address here is for Sherwood Street. Word-of-mouth will be more effective if
search engines lead folks to your real whereabouts!
As far as fund raisers, how about a benefit art/craft/bake-sale where crafters
donate the proceeds from sale of their wares to Hammer Time?
You may have done so already, but be sure to publicize events on KRFC's
community calendar. Events can be submitted on-line at krfcfm.org.
See if you can hang up flyers at Habitat For Humanity's Loveland and Fort
Collins locales.
Happy New Year!

1) Updates
We are open again as of Monday, January 3rd with regular hours
1/1/11 - 2011 HT! Sexy Calendars are in.
Calendars
may not seem cool any more with iphones and google, but you're actually
totally uncool if you don't get one of these! The HT! volunteers have a
made a calendar of us doing zany things with power tools, chalk boards,
and kale with little clothes on. Come by and pick one up for your home,
office, or tree house for only $10! (for a couple sample pics check
www.hammertimeprojects.org/news)
1/1/11 - We are soooo broke.
So the other day I was having a rad time chatting with automated phone robots
and paying bills when I realized the HT! fundz are in the negatives. This is a
bummer when it comes to buying tools to make the place a tool library, etc. We
need ideas! New fund raisers? Sustaining business models? Money for us? Whatcha
got???

"Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary of 2009, THE COVE follows an elite

to penetrate a remote and hidden cove in Taiji, Japan, shining a light on a
dark and deadly secret. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden
microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside
village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening
worldwide. The result is a provocative mix of investigative journalism,
eco-adventure and arresting imagery, adding up to an unforgettable story that
has inspired audiences worldwide to action."

6) How to Volunteer
Volunteer Meetings
- We strive to have everyone participate in figuring out the direction
of the projects and how to get them done. Come learn more about the
space and how these decisions are made. Meetings are every Friday at
6pm.
Regular Volunteers
- a "regular" volunteer can pick a 4 hour shift out of the 2 per day
between 12-8p on mon, wed, and sat. peeps can either volunteer getting
stuff done or just doing homework, working on your own projects,
reading infoshop books, cruzin the internet, etc while folks are
perusing the shop. We ask that ya'll come to a few meetings and work
parties before you become a regular volunteer as to learn about how the
place operates.
Outreach - One
of the most important parts of the projects are letting people know we
are here. A few ways to help out is to hand out/post fliers and posters,
volunteer/create special events, and spread the word! Email us at
hammertimeprojects@xxxxxxxxx to know how you can specifically help.
Stop By! - ‘nough said.
