SUMMARY:September 2025 Fix-It Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Got a broken item like a torn shirt\, faulty blender or worn-out toy? Bring them to a Fix-It Clinic and learn hands-on repair skills with help from our expert volunteers—free of charge! \nGet your free ticket here. \nNew policy: We will no longer work on computers\, cell phones\, or tablets at the Fix-It Clinic. These projects often require extensive troubleshooting and take up a lot of our volunteers’ time. Instead\, we encourage you to subscribe to the Fix-It Austin newsletter to receive announcements of upcoming workshops focused on electronics repair\, consult the Austin Reuse Directory to find a professional repair shop\, and/or look for a repair guide on the IFixIt website. \nHow it works: Bring up to two items (excluding computers\, cellphones\, and tablets) and work with our coaches to learn how to fix them. Tools will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own. If you know your item needs a replacement part\, please bring it with you. While we can’t guarantee every item will be repaired\, you’ll learn how it works and what you may need to fix it. Note that our electronics/miscellaneous category is the most popular and sometimes there is a wait to work with a volunteer. \nDrop-off option: Can’t attend in person? Drop off your item at the Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center (808 Nile St.)\, September 5-11. We’ll try to fix it\, and you can pick it up September 15-20. Items not claimed by September 20 will be donated. Space is limited\, and a waiver is required.

SUMMARY:Tree ID for Seed Savers at Laguna Gloria
DESCRIPTION:Have you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill? Well\, you’re in luck because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are coming to the Laguna Gloria museum to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you! \nYou will learn how to identify native trees and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery. \nYou can RSVP here. Meet your walk leader at the TreeFolks sign at the front entrance. Free parking is available on 35th Street. \nThe Central Texas Seed Savers is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region. \nTreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then\, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting\, tree giveaways\, education\, and urban wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees. \nThis is not a volunteer opportunity; it is an educational event.

SUMMARY:Better World Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Feeling disconnected or overwhelmed and wondering what to do about it? This monthly book club is for people to engage with works on morality\, philosophy\, economics\, sustainability\, and degrowth among others. The goal is to better understand the world and our role in changing it. \nEach month\, I’ll also spotlight a local nonprofit and volunteer opportunity to help connect our conversations with real-world actions. The idea is that not everyone will be passionate about every topic but everyone will hopefully be passionate about some topic. \nWe will be meeting on the 4th Thursday @anisdayandnight at 7pm! The wonderful @pricklypearbookbus which is on-site will have books stocked to buy in person or online! \nI truly believe that in the fight for a better world\, every thoughtful conversation and every small act matters and this my step towards change\, I hope you join me! \nOur first book on Sept 25th will be The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Words are powerful and this book explores the power of stories and how they shape reality through three intertwining essays. \nYou can be a part of the discussions if you’ve read the whole book\, a couple of pages or none at all but are simply interested in the topic. @pricklypearbookbus will have copies available online and in person! They are kind enough to give a discount if you buy through them! ‍↕️ \nI will also have journalists and poets come to share their real life experiences of the importance of writing and telling stories that matter! Amy Stansbury from The Austin Common will be one of our guest speakers.
