Sometimes it's inevitable to feel sad after a truly great event is over--but one thing that shouldn't be bringing us down? Trying to track down a missing item which was left with a fixer months ago. Or a fixer trying in vain to track down a guest to return a long-fixed item. And we've been getting a lot--and I mean a LOT--of those emails lately. Guests are unhappy, fixers are overworked, organizers are frustrated and we here at RCHV are, well, frazzled!
We hold repair cafes almost every weekend in our network. We know, sometimes they're not close by so you have to wait--but there will always be another cafe in your hood or your county, maybe even as soon as the following month. So please help us out--our fixers give so generously of their time volunteering to fix things during cafes. Please don't ask them to take things home to fix them afterwards. If there's advice to be given, take it! A part needs to be bought? Purchase it! The fixer might even be able to help you order it online on your phone at the cafe. But then bring the item and the new part to the next cafe and let our fixers do what they do best--volunteer their time willingly and happily and without strings attached.
