Two Repair Cafés have now been held and both of them went well.
If you still do not know what a Repair Café is, let me explain. We are a group of people who strongly believe in reusing items we have around the home which may not be working as they should. We do not like to see them go to landfills, thus we offer sewing repairs, electrical repairs, and minor woodworking repairs, to name a few.
If parts are needed, you pay for them, but our time is free. We will be happy to check out the child’s toy, the broken drawer, a patch on your sleeve, or a hem on your pants that is coming down; what about that ornament that you chipped last week? Volunteers are waiting for you to bring them into the North Grenville Library, where they will attempt to refurbish them for you.
Assistance in setting up this project is provided by both the Oxford Mills WI and Sustainable North Grenville.
We have two more Café’s booked from 12 to 2 pm on April 13 and May 11. Come along to see us, have a coffee, a cookie, a chat, and get your item repaired.
