Over the course of the last year, we’ve seen a drastic increase in your support of our efforts here at the store. Input from the community into our free recycling service has nearly tripled in 2011.  While most of our inventory comes from our traditional surplussing methods, people have always been kind enough to donate and trade some really cool stuff too. This year we found ourselves finally able to attain the goal of creating a nonprofit that can not only facilitate our long list of workshops and classes, but also use your donations of electronics recycling and other goods to make the cost of those workshops more inexpensive or even free.  Feel free to check out Reuseum Educational’s website, http://educate.reuseum.org

Next, but certainly not least is another community driven endeavor, it has been a long time in the making, but you can now say hello to the Treasure Valley’s first hackerspace, Open Lab Idaho.  The members have been grinding though all of the things we need to accomplish in order to make our laboratory dreams come true, we are proud to announce the first general meeting, and charter of the founding membership at the Reuseum on January 14th, 2012.  If you are interesting in sharing your skills and meeting other makers and builders of things, come down and lets make it happen!

As always, our new load of goodies has brought in some very charming items, some of which might actually fit under the Christmas tree. As for the rest, well, we can figure out a way to wrap our spare fire hoses into bows or something. We’ll figure it out.
