Thanks to all of you who made a difference by bringing your items on July 11th to be repaired instead of throwing them out. It was beautiful summer weather and yet we had a steady stream of participants! We had 64 people bring in 119 items for repair and/or sharpening. Of that 99 items were repaired.😃

Our next one is on October 10th from 10 to 2 as usual at the First Congregational Church of Willimantic, UCC.
