Bring us your broken stuff!
WNC Repair Cafe is settling down in the Asheville area for two more repair events in December.
We're back for another Sewing and Mending event on December 6, this time at the Leicester library at 1561 Alexander Rd in Leicester, NC. We've got a great, enthusiastic group of skilled sewing volunteers ready to help guide you through sewing repairs of all kinds. We'll also be collecting winter clothes for donation via AMCHC winter clothes drive.
The following week, on Tuesday, December 13, we're back for another general repair event at the Asheville Tool Library at 80 Cowan Cove Rd in Asheville. Here too, we've got a great group of volunteers with a very wide range of skills. We're very excited about this collaboration!
Both events are from 5:00 to 8:00. More info can be found here.

Also, special thanks to Chris Link and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for hosting the small engine maintenance workshop and repair event. Over 20 people attended the workshop and learned about troubleshooting, tune up and winterizing small engine equipment. Later, visitors stuck around for hands-on repair of chainsaws, string trimmers, lawnmowers and even a portable generator. The community farm was a wonderful setting for this kind of event and we look forward to more of these kinds of collaborations in the future!
