On Saturday, September 9th the HAF Tool Lending Library held its second Repair Cafe.  Thank you to the Honest Weight Co Op for hosting us for the day, and thank you to our wonderful volunteers and fixers.  We were able to service 40 attendees fixing everything from a closet door, a vacuum cleaner, jewelry, a stand mixer, toaster and lots of lamps.  Stay tuned for details on the next Repair Cafe to be held in the spring!
