Stubborn zipper? Flickery lamp? Wobbly chair?
You’re in luck. The next Fix-it Cafe is around the corner on November 2 between 10 and 2. Register here and bring that … whatever it is … to our dedicated band of Fixers and Tinkerers. If we can, we’ll set it back on its legs and keep it out of the landfill for a while more. Sponsored by Zero Waste Vashon, Vashon Makerspace, Vashon Ace Hardware, the Eagles, and King County Eco Consumer.
Spring Café a Sunny Success
Under lovely sunny skies, Vashonites brought about sixty-nine items to the Spring 2024 Café. Of those, fifty-eight were fixed, including many lamps, some mending, various small appliances and a chair or two. All in all, 485 pounds of treasures were NOT taken to the landfill. Huzzah!
Lamps 101 Rocked
Saturday’s Youth Fixit Class at Orbit Youth Space rocked. Kids and fixers teamed up to learn about electricity, make a basic lamp and then fix a broken one. More tonnage saved from the landfill and fun as well. And there was pizza!
Stay tuned for more like this!
That socket didn’t buy itself…
