CVSan offers FREE Repair Workshop at Castro Valley Library

CVSan will be presenting Castro Valley’s Fixit Clinic and Clothing Swap ‘N Sew at the Castro Valley Library (3600 Norbridge Avenue) on Saturday, June 18th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

The public is invited to bring broken, non-functioning electronics, small appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, etc. for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. Fixit Clinic Coaches will be on hand to guide participants through the repair process.

A new addition to this year’s Repair Workshop is the Clothing Swap ‘N Sew. Participants are invited bring clean, gently worn, but no longer wanted clothes for the ‘Swap’ and take home donated items. Attendees may also bring a sewing machine and any sewing notions for mending their fabric items.

A workspace, specialty tools, a public sewing machine, and guidance will be provided. Whether items are fixed or not, attendees will learn more about how the item was manufactured and how it worked. Children must be monitored by a parent/adult at all times.

Priority is given to participants who sign-up online: Go to www.fixitclinic.org and select the Castro Valley event.

Volunteer Coaches are still needed! If you like to fix things, sign-up to volunteer as a Fixit Clinic Coach: www.fixitclinic.org and select the Coaches Corner tab.
