The Rotary Club of Wellesley held its eighth Repair Café at the Wellesley Recreation Center on March 7th. Nine coaches and 16 attendees repaired 13 lamps, fixed a ceramic rabbit’s ears, re finished an end table, sharpened knives, fixed a beloved toy, installed a new door switch for a microwave, and encouraged a patron to order new batteries for their power beat ear phones. Jen and Kristen from the Wellesley Library set up a “mobile library station” with lots of DIY and “fix it” books. Everyone had fun and helped keep items out of the landfill.
