☀️ Summer is here, and so is Repair Cafe! We'll be at Great Falls Library THIS SATURDAY, June 6th, from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Join us!
**No knife sharpening at this event** - we are still trying to find a volunteer for knife sharpening, but we haven't found anyone yet, so we can't promise it this time.

We're also hosting our first mini-workshop! This is a new offering we're trying, run concurrently with our normal programming. From 11am-11:30am (approximately) we'll be talking about the end of Windows 10 and what to do next, including a beginner-friendly intro to Linux.
This workshop is being offered in conjunction with the Thomas Jefferson Library, whose team is graciously hosting us this March. We aren't supported by the library and we don't speak for them, we're just huge fans. Here's their event page for it: https://librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/event/16214499
If you find something broken during your spring cleaning, bring it to Repair Cafe! We'll be at TJ Library in Annandale/Falls Church for our March meeting.

We had a great time at our February Repair Café!
In our snack zone, we had some repair-related Valentines to color and share. If you'd like to use these at your own event, feel free to do so! Share the love of repair with someone you care about!
If you can (safely! ❄️) make it, we're holding Repair Cafe next weekend, Sunday, February 8th, from 10:30am to 12:30pm, at Pohick Regional Library
We're a community-oriented group, and that's why we say your safety comes first! If you want to visit but can't make it out next weekend, don't worry - there will always be other Cafes to attend.
