Community Glue Kick Off Party
About a month ago, we first told you about the launch of ‘Community Glue,’ and the project is moving forward! Come out and celebrate the launch of this new community organization, on Saturday July 28th Community Glue Workshop is throwing a Fix-Up party at Kitchen Sink (1107 w. Berwyn Ave.) from 6 to 9.
Community Glue Workshop is a project rooted in sustainability — that of manufactured goods and of communities. Inspired by the “repair cafe” movement in Amsterdam, they offer opportunities for people to have their weathered or broken belongings rehabilitated by their neighbors at no cost. At Fix-Ups, local tinkerers and handy-folk volunteer their time and services to neighbors in need of repair. The goals of the project is to get people thinking twice before discarding objects that need a little elbow grease, and to bring people together.
