Three DATES
JAN. 11, FEB. 8, & MAr. 8: Ripe for Repair
WHEN: Sundays after 202 – 2:00pm - 5:00pm
WHERE: Odd Fellows Hall, 651 Forest Avenue, 2nd Floor
Repair Meetups are free community events where people come together to help each other fix everything from small home appliances to damaged textiles. They’re about celebrating under- appreciated skills and learning new ones, holding on to things that take a lot of resources to make but can quickly end up in landfills, and connecting with other humans. Experts, novices and curious spectators welcome!
