I am from Duluth and currently live in the Cities (Wayzata), but I am very interested in your group. I would really like to hear about how the repair Cafe goes for you guys. Please tell me how the different steps go, such as finding experienced electrical appliance repair persons. My email address is [email protected] and my phone number is 952-239-0965.
Three actions we'll do:
1) start a FB group to recruit volunteer fixers, team members, materials, and promote events.
2) reach out to the Duluth Makerspace as a potential host
3) chat with other Repair cafes about how they handle liability
Hi Shawna, I belong to DMS and could help you maybe with setting up times to use the space, PM me when you have time.
Hello Phil! Thanks for your interest! Thus far, we've had one planning meeting, so we're just at the beginning stages. We hope to have our first repair cafe in December. We are going to create a Facebook group for the purposes of recruiting planning team members, local "fixers," and to promote the events. I can send you the link once we've got it up and running, or could also communicate via email to keep you posted (if you're not on Facebook). Thanks again for your interest!
