Live Indoor Event

Hosted by Columbia NE Repair Cafe

The Repair Cafe idea was born in Amsterdam in 2009 and was brought to New Paltz by volunteer organizer John Wackman in 2013. His dedication, enthusiasm and success inspired others to launch Repair Cafe events in their communities. Repair Cafe of the Hudson Valley & Catskills is a consortium of program organizers who support the work of repair in their communities. All events take place under the umbrella of a host or sponsoring organization in each town. 

Some reasons to get involved or attend a Repair Cafe: 

• To transform our throw-away economy one beloved item at a time

• To reduce how much stuff goes into the waste stream

• To preserve traditional repair know-how & skills and pass them on

• To show the people who have this knowledge that they are valued

• To feed our curiosity about "the way things work" & have fun

• To foster community sustainability and resilience

Registration is not necessary. If you would like to learn more or get involved as an organizer or Fixer, contact: ColumbiaNERepairCafe@gmail.com
