For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,550. It will serve about 475 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,550 goes: • Materials: $2,000 • Safety equipment and signage: $250 • Permits and inspections: $300 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
