Repair Cafe' Coming Up!
Do you need something fixed? Transition Town Charlotte and our Hinesburg friends will be hosting our second Repair Cafe' from 10:00 to 4:00 on Sat May 19 at the Hinesburg Town Hall. A Repair Cafe' is a community gathering where we come together to socialize and fix each others stuff. Why? Well to keep perfectly good things out of the landfill, to meet and have fun with our neighbors, to enjoy the camaraderie of brainstorming and solving puzzles, to keep our towns looking good, and to reduce the stress of "how do I repair this broken thing?"
What will we repair? So far we have fixers willing to tackle the following items:
-small electric appliances, lamps, electrical gadgets, worn cords
-wooden chairs, furniture
-toys
-hand and garden tools (including sharpening)
-clocks including cuckoo clocks, attaching watch bands, replacing watch batteries,
-clothing, knitted items, sewing machine adjustments
-jewelry repairs and modifications
-doodads, widgets, thingamajigs
Plus...
-tutorials on smart phone usage.
-small gas engine tuneups and tutorials!
Their is no charge for repairs but we do ask participants to make a non-perishable food or monetary donation on repair day to the Hinesburg Food Shelf. In order to help our fixers prepare, we also ask that attendees let us know beforehand what they are planning on bringing. Click here to RSVP... https://goo.gl/forms/XJQRyIThx3BtMmAh1
Coffee/tea and snacks will be available by donation and a lunch can be purchased.
The event is being sponsored by Transition Town Charlotte, the Charlotte Community Library, and Charlotte Grange
We tackled some interesting things last time. Bring us a challenge on May 19!
Hope to see you there!
