Helping Your Kids (and Grandkids)

Repair Cafe 2022 — Volunteers Needed
Saturday, Sept. 24, 9 a.m.-noon
Many people have items that don’t work quite right — tables with wobbly legs, scissors or garden tools that no longer cut very well, lamps with balky switches, and so on — and they either put up with the annoyance or wind up throwing out perfectly usable and fixable items. The Senior Center is hosting its first Repair Cafe, a community event where people bring their not-quite-working-right but too-good-to-throw-away items, and other community members help repair them. Organizers are looking for those who are handy and enjoy fixing things to volunteer to help out with general furniture repair, lamp rewiring, sharpening of garden tools/scissors/kitchen knives, simple sewing and mending, appliance repair (e.g., can openers, hair dryers), etc. Call to learn more.
