Bring it to the Repair Café of course!!!! The Repair Café is a community gathering place where people

1673 Springfield Ave., Maplewood • 973-996-2080 www.maplewoodbikeshed.com

bring beloved broken items for repair, free of charge, by skilled volunteers who might also be your neighbors. The goal is to keep useful things useful and out of the landfill/incinerator. The next Repair Café will be held on Saturday, October 16 at the Senior Center, 106 Burnett Ave, Maplewood, from 1-4 pm. Rain date is Saturday, October 23. To keep participants as safe as possible, we ask all potential “customers” to make an appointment in advance by contacting Tracy Carroll at 973-558-0863 or soma2towns@gmail.com to let us know what they need repaired. We need to do this so that the repair volunteers have adequate time and space to do their magic and so that attendees have minimal wait time. Contact us to reserve your spot today!!
