Repair Cafe on 11/9

The Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley, with help from Bolton Local, will hold the next Bolton Repair Café on Saturday, Nov 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be held in the cafeteria at the Florence Sawyer School, 100 Mechanic Street in Bolton. The school is located behind the Emerson School, which is on the same driveway/street. Residents of Bolton and surrounding towns are invited to come and find out what a Repair Café is all about.

Bring your items that need repair, and knowledgeable volunteers will help you try to fix them for free. The volunteers can work on items such as clean mendable clothing, knitted and crocheted items, lamps, small appliances, computers and other electronics, bikes, outdoor power equipment, toys, and jewelry. They can also sharpen knives, scissors, and garden tools. You only pay for needed parts. If you know what parts are needed, please get them ahead of time and bring them to the Repair Café to save time.

Do you have an old toy which is too broken to fix and is ready for recycling? Local author J. Anthony Garreffi will be in attendance and asking families to bring by a broken toy for proper recycling. He will also be signing copies of his newly released book “I Caught Santa – Book 2: Respect Your Toys”. Come by for repairs, meet the author, and help Santa and the Elves save the North Pole!
