Because of limited space at the moment, I think we have to limit donations to computers and monitors. In the future, we hope to accept anything!<br><br>Thanks!<br>Amanda<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 12:39 AM, Mike Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mbmiller%2Bl@gmail.com">mbmiller+l@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Your message says that you "accept computer donations", but are you also interested in working peripheral devices like printers or scanners?<br>
<br>

Subject: Free Geek Twin Cities is now accepting donations!<br>
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:38:59 -0500<br>
From: Amanda Luker <<a href="mailto:amanda@pinkslipmedia.org" target="_blank">amanda@pinkslipmedia.org</a>><br>

Hi everyone!<br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce that Free Geek Twin Cities is finally able to start accepting computer donations, starting THIS WEEKEND. Our open hours will start off being SATURDAYS NOON-5PM every weekend, and people can drop off their used equipment anytime between those times.<br>
<br>
If you are unfamiliar with this project, check out our website: <a href="http://freegeektwincities.org" target="_blank">http://freegeektwincities.org</a>. We accept computer donations, then volunteers can come in and take apart computers for a set amount of hours, or learn how to rebuild them as working machines. After a volunteer has either accrued 24 hours of volunteer time or built six computers, they can take a computer -- that they are intimately familiar with -- home with them for free.<br>
<br>
Our location is 3405 Chicago Ave. S., and the entrance is at the back of the building. Our contact number is (612) 293-7339. It's currently a very raw space, but we'll be able to stick equipment in storage space in the basement until our work space is ready for us.<br>
<br>
Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions! We are also looking for people who might want to join our volunteer staff -- or to do a little of both!<br>
<br>
Amanda<br>
