[MCN] Virtual Repair Opportunities

[Sarah Lundquist]

Hello Missoula!

Do you have broken items you don't know how to fix? Don't despair, and
don't throw those items away! Fixitclinic.org
<https://fixitclinic.blogspot.com/> is hosting virtual Fixit events to help
guide you through basic repairs you can do from home.

Here’s how it works: show your item to the global assembly of community
repairers and get suggestions for things to try. After all items are
presented, items/participants and repairers are assigned to Zoom breakout
rooms to implement the suggestions and, hopefully, fix the items.

Upcoming events (sign up here <http://bit.ly/fixitcheckin>!):

   - Sunday, Sept. 27 @12pm MST (hosted in Boulder, CO)
   - Saturday, Oct. 17 @12pm MST (hosted in Lund/Malmö, Sweden)
   - Saturday, Nov. 14 @11am MST (hosted in Brampton, Ontario)

Sign up with broken things at http://bit.ly/fixitcheckin: and please
encourage your family, friends and neighbors to sign up too. (And remember:
large things like dishwashers, TVs and furniture can be looked at now, too.)

Coaches are heartily invited to attend as well, and can sign up to help at

Home ReSource has also added a Fixit and Repair Tips
<https://www.zerobyfiftymissoula.com/fixit-and-repair> page to the ZERO by
FIFTY <https://www.zerobyfiftymissoula.com/> website, with lots of
resources to help with home repairs!

Happy fixing!
Sarah
