As part of Fredonia's Earth Month celebration, a new event, a Repair Fair, will be hosted on Monday, April 16, from 12:30 until 4 p.m. A full slate of Earth Month activities and opportunities, including an electronics recycling day, begins on Saturday, April 7, and continues through Sunday, April 22.
Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to bring broken items in need of repair to the Williams Center Multipurpose Room, where experienced volunteers will assist with repairs. The volunteers bring the expertise and tools, and the owner of the broken item should bring any necessary replacement parts. Items to be repaired can include bikes, jewelry, clothing, wood/carpentry, small appliances/motors and lamps.
The campus community is encouraged to put an item back in service instead of throwing it away! For more information, contact Director of Environmental Health and Safety and Sustainability Sarah Laurie via email.
A session to make sun catchers out of plastic bottles will be held on Saturday, April 7, 1 p.m., at the Williams Center.
