dear fellow impractical laborers,

As 2010 concludes, we have some news to share:

2010 members, there will be another Quarterly shipped to you! It will, alas, not be sent before the end of 2010, but rest assured that you will receive another 2010 in early 2011. As many hours as it takes!

It is not too early, however, to renew your membership for 2011. Simply visit http://www.impractical-labor.org/join.html and select "2011 membership". Membership dues remain $12 a year.

And: we have an exciting opportunity for 2011 members. ILSSA's Krista Hoefle (Local 574 Shop KH) has invited ILSSA to mount an exhibition at the Gallery at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana. The show will open in January 2012. As it is a year away, we have dreamed up a little idea that makes use of those very same hours.

ILSSA is an organization about process, and we'd like this -- the first ILSSA exhibition -- to exhibit evidence of our members' processes, for every day we each work in 2011. How so?

For each day you labor impractically, beginning on January 1, 2011 and through December 31, 2011: please save a remnant of your process. It should be small enough to fit in an envelope. Date the envelope, put it in a box, and and repeat for each day worked. In January 2011, mail this box to the gallery (details forthcoming, don't fret about cost, etc.). Our plan is to display these remnants, giving visitors a sense of the collective days worked by our union, as well as the nature of such work.

Logistics aside, we're trying to gauge interest, as we'd like everyone to begin saving as of January 1st! Please email operator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as soon as possible and let us know if you are interested in taking part or not. Yes!! or No. is all we need at this time; further details forthcoming.

best & warmest,
your co-ops
