Fix-It Clinic at Seward Montessori this Saturday

submitted by greena@augsburg.edu

Do you have something that is not working right, but you would like to
see working again? Whether you watched a bunch of YouTube videos and
tried fixing it yourself, threw your hands up in despair looking for
someone who could help (or after learning how much it would cost), or
just don’t know where to start, look no further! A bunch of eager and
skilled volunteers are coming to the Seward Montessori School cafeteria
this Saturday, November 10th, from noon to 3:30 p.m. for the next
Hennepin County Fix-It Clinic. They will be there to help you
troubleshoot and fix your non-working stuff, for free! It will be like
having a handy friend with some expertise in what you are having trouble
with, right there to help! The goal of this program is to divert from
the waste stream non-working items that people would like to keep using.
It has helped folks fix or figure out everything from mechanical monkey
toys and jewelry to microwaves and dehumidifiers. There will be a crew
of sewing specialists to help you replace broken zippers and mend
clothes, a team of electronics folks who are good with everything from
lamps to computers, and mechanical folks who have gotten paper
shredders, antique clocks, and sewing machines back in business. Please
help spread the word! Share the Facebook event at

with your non-working stuff!
