Fixit Clinic Will Teach You To Fix your Household Items

Fixit Clinic
Saturday, February 24, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Quelab Makerspace, 680 Haines Ave NW

The Solid Waste Management Department and Keep Albuquerque Beautiful will partner with Quelab Makerspace and Fuse Makerspace to host this year’s Fixit Clinic on Saturday, February 24, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon, at the Quelab Makerspace, 680 Haines Ave NW. 

Bring your broken household items and learn from our experienced coaches how they can be repaired. This is a free, all-ages event where people can learn how to assess, disassemble, and hopefully repair broken household items instead of sending them to the landfill. The acceptable items include bikes, small appliances, electronics, and sewing projects.

There is also need for skilled individuals who are handy and experienced in sewing, woodwork, leatherwork, electronics, small appliances, and jewelry, so please register if you have any of these skills. For more information, call 311 or visit: www.cabq.gov/fixitclinic

Dear District 17 Constituents,

I am deeply interested in your opinions on our current Legislative issues. Many of you have emailed me, and I appreciate reading your messages, as they help me determine how I will vote when the issue arises. My priorities are clear: public safety, economic development and jobs, housing, education, and mental health focuses. I am, however, always interested in listening to your concerns to determine or adjust my priorities. Also, you can go to our NM Legislature Website to find more information on my assigned committees, sponsored Bills, or other general information about me.

Please also fill out my online survey HERE or send an email to Cynthia.Borrego@nmlegis.gov or Cynthia4nmhouse@gmail.com anytime to express your interests, concerns, or thoughts. 

Thank you, and kind regards.
