SUMMARY:Community Clothing Swap
DESCRIPTION:Our next swap will take place on Saturday\, May 25th from 10am–12pm at the Quaker Meeting House at 1001 Park Avenue (just 6 minutes from Perennial). \nHow exactly does it work?\nWe will be accepting clothing donations prior to the swap at the Meeting House (see dates and details below) so volunteers can pre-sort all items. No clothing donations will be accepted the day of the swap. You can donate clothes in good condition even if you are not planning to attend to ensure we have a wide selection. Volunteers will sort the clothes by item in advance and swappers will be able to browse and select clothes just like at a store. The great news is\, unlike a store\, you won’t pay by item for things you take home. Instead\, we will weigh your clothes to know how many pounds we are diverting from the landfill. \nWhat’s included in my ticket?\n\nClothes\, community\, coffee\, and cookies! \nWhen and where can I drop off clothes to donate to the swap?\nDonations can be dropped off at the Meeting House on the following dates and times: \n\nSaturday\, May 18th from 11am-4pm @ Perennial – This is the only Perennial drop-off time!\nWednesday-Thursday\, May 22 + 23 from 4-6:30pm @ the Meeting House\nFriday\, May 24 from 12-5:30pm @ the Meeting House\n\nYou do not need to purchase a ticket to donate clothing! \nIf this is your first time attending a swap or you want a refresher\, we encourage you to read all of the details and frequently asked questions here.\n

SUMMARY:Repair Fair May 18
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community repair event! Volunteers will be on hand to help you figure out and possibly fix household items. The event is FREE to attend\, but repair volunteers will charge their own rates for repairs. A Repair Fair is a fun way to learn about repair\, save money\, and keep things from going into the trash! \nLet us know you’re coming and grab a free ticket above! Interested in being one of our volunteer repairers?\nPlease fill out our volunteer registration form to let us know you’re interested! \nWhat to Expect:\nWhen you arrive at Perennial with your broken items\, you will check in at the front desk. If you’ve brought an item to be repaired\, you will be directed to the appropriate Repair Station where you will wait for the volunteer repair person to assess your item. Volunteers can spend up to 30 minutes repairing a single item. If your repair takes longer than 30 minutes\, your volunteer repair person may offer to complete the repair for pick up at a later date\, encourage you to continue the repair at home\, or refer you to a repair shop. After your item is repaired\, or if you don’t bring an item to be repaired\, you will be free to roam about the fair to observe repairs and collect information from each Repair Station. We can’t guarantee that any or all of your items will be repaired at the event\, and as with all repairs\, there is a slight chance your item could be damaged in the process\, but that doesn’t mean we won’t give it our best shot! \nWhat can I bring to be repaired?\nDamaged items\, or images of damaged items\, that you are not sure how to repair! \nTake a look at our previous Repair Stations for ideas: \n– Candle Refills \n– Bike Repair \n– String Instrument Repair \n– Electronic Repair \n– Jewelry Repair \n– Clothing Repair \n– Wood Item + Furniture Repair \n– Computer Repair \n– Book Repair \n*If you’re looking to have an unusual item repaired\, email events@perennialstl.org with a description and a picture to see if we can help you out! \nHow many broken items can I bring?\nYou are welcome to bring multiple items to be repaired; however\, to reduce the wait time for each attendee\, one broken item per person will be examined at a time. If there is time after your first repair for another item\, you will jump to the end of the line at the next (or the same) Repair Station. \nWhat is NOT accepted?\n– Items too large or heavy for one person to carry *If your item is too large to carry\, consider bringing in a photo.\n– Large appliances\n– Unwashed clothing \nWe can’t wait to see you there!\n
