The January Repair Café event at The Shed

The last Repair Cafe was hosted by La Loma Development at the Shed, a new Permaculture Design and Build Center.  The hosts, Marco and Michelle Barantes are gracious and generous contributors to our community.  The Open House was lively and included rain barrel killer-deals by Hey! Tanks LA, a blessing by local indiginous people, sculpture and aerial photos on display, non GMO blue corn tamales, how to build a tee pee, and other exhibits on fruit sharing and solar ideas and grey water.

The Repair Cafe itself broke all our records!  We had 200 visitors and 71 documented repairs.  Repairers included a crew from Hack a Day who love the thrill of taking your clunker appliance  apart and making it a working vacuum or curling iron.  There was bad-haircut repair and worm bin repair, sewing repairs,  Mac trouble shooting, tool repair and sharpening, seed swap and free seedlings as well as the biggest Really Really Free Market ever and a big load of citrus to give away.  Thanks to all who helped make this our most wonderful event from fruit packers to piano player and vocalist, to triage people keeping the flow of repairs smooth and efficient.

March Repair Café

The next Repair Cafe will be March 1 from 3-6 pm at Throop Hall at Los Robles and Del Mar. Stay tuned to our web page or facebook page or the Time Bank google group for more details!
Would you like to try out the thrill ride of doing repairs of some kind?  Our repair people leave the event high on the happiness of helping each other.  To offer repairs contact theresegbrum@yahoo.com.

Come on down and get a fix!
