Karori Repair Cafe
4 sleeps to go! Sunday 21st May, 11am to 2pm, in the Karori Community Centre
We are live this weekend and looking forward to this great community event!
This is your chance to see if we can help you repair your treasured thing, saving it from landfill.
On hand we have fantastic sewers, all-round handy people computer repair people, electrical skills and more.
What to bring:
- your broken torn failing item
- any spares that might help your problem - a replacement plug for an appliance, a patch for those holey shorts etc - we will have some on hand but contributions gratefully received
- koha
- appetite & coins for the Karori West Scout Group sausage sizzle
- not your toaster - still needing to say no to those tricky appliances sorry
This is our first repair café so be patient with our team of awesome support crew and skilled volunteers, as we navigate this new initiative.
And don't forget you can bring your additional non-kerbside recycling such as clean open tetrapaks, household batteries, sports equipment, pens, small metal items and we will get them to a useful place.
See you there!
Julia, Karin and Tracey
Your Karori Repair Cafe crew

Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
