On October 28 from 9 AM till 4 PM, the Jericho Energy Task Force will do its best to impede planned obsolescence by holding our first ever Repair Cafe at the Community Center. We're hoping for people with the following skills:

Repair lamps–replace switches and cords, tighten wobbly bases
Repair jewelry (no soldering), replace watch batteries, fix watch bands,
Replace eyeglass screws
Repair camping and fishing gear
Repair furniture, clocks, dolls, favorite toys (wooden, metal, or plastic)
Troubleshoot and/or repair small appliances, electronics, radios, fans, heaters, (de)humidifiers, and sewing machines (I already know of two people who would like their sewing machines repaired)
Sharpen garden tools, replace wooden handles, repair electric trimmers
Sharpen knives, scissors, axes
Mend clothing by hand or sewing machine and repair holey knits
Replace zippers
Any other types of repair work that people might have expertise in

Our goal is to promote and teach the lost art of repair to all ages, keep perfectly good stuff out of the landfill, and build our town's sense of community by working together to meet each other's needs.

Please respond to Phyl Newbeck at vtphyl72@gmail.com if you're interested in volunteering.
