> Finger Lakes ReUse invites anyone who has things to repair, wants to  
> help fix items, or wants to learn how to fix items to a planning  
> meeting for our new fixers collective on November 10th at the ReUse  
> Center at the Triphammer Marketplace, 2255 N Triphammer Road,  
> Ithaca. The fixers collective is open to anyone who wants to prolong  
> the lifespan of items such as home electronics, furniture, small  
> appliances and more. The planning meeting will be 3pm to 4pm,  
> followed by a fixer lab from 4pm to 5pm. Please fill out the fixers  
> collective survey - http://www.fingerlakesreuse.org/fixerscollectivesurvey.shtml 
>  - to let us know if you are interested in attending or in learning  
> more.
>
> We will meet in the Furniture Overflow Showroom (the storefront to  
> the right of the ReUse Center) at Triphammer Marketplace.
>
> Bring your ideas - this will be a collaborative and evolving effort  
> and will be guided by those who are actively participating - so your  
> thoughts and input at this first meeting will be very important, but  
> there will be lots of opportunity to grow and improve the  
> collective! We hope to start small but really grow this event into a  
> vibrant community experience. One of our largest current challenges  
> is that we have zero storage space, so projects will need to be  
> portable - in and out each time we meet. We can offer a heated  
> space, large work table, an assortment of tools, and internet access  
> to research fixes, but we'll have challenges with projects that may  
> take more than a couple of hours to fix, etc. Feel free to bring  
> along tools and an item that needs to be fixed. We'll leave the last  
> hour for repair attempts - although no guarantees that we'll have  
> the skillset, tools, or time to tackle your project. We'll see!  
> Let's meet and talk from 3pm to 4pm, and have a fixer lab from 4pm  
> to 5pm. Future meetings (time and frequency) will be discussed at  
> the meeting, but will hopefully continue to evolve and expand -  
> we'll continue to publish updates to the full email list.
>
> There was some interest in the initial survey responses in paying a  
> fee to have items fixed - so one of the topics we will be  
> considering is some sort of sliding-fee structure which will support  
> this effort. We can give you an update on FLR job training programs  
> and initiatives to support underserved individuals in Tompkins County.
> Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!
