Sustainable Medfield and Charles River Repair Coalition are coordinating a Repair Café at Mill Forge Makerspace on Sunday, October 18, 2-5 pm. Gather an item that you would like repaired, and join in. Typical repairs include stitching, woolens, jewelry, lamps, knick-knacks, small appliances, small furniture, bicycles…. Fixers donate time, tools, and expertise to repair items brought in. If they cannot repair an item, they generally can advise about repair or how to get a missing piece. No pre-registration necessary.
The location at 61 Endicott St, Bldg 4, Norwood, is itself interesting, as it is in a 19th-century mill complex which now houses various antique, clothing, leather work, craft, and artist outlets.

Attracting Songbirds to your Yard
The Medfield Garden Club will present Lisey Good, former Editor in Chief of the Garden Club of America Magazine on October 14th, 10AM, at the United Church of Christ, 496 Main St., Medfield. Among many accomplishments, Lisey founded WildCohasset.org to help native plants and the wildlife that depend on them for survival. Lisey will give a presentation on how to attract, and best support local songbirds while bringing your gardens even more alive. Strategic plant choices in even the tiniest of gardens can greatly help hummingbirds, finches, orioles and more! Doors for non-members will open at 9:50AM. Admission at the door for non-members will be a $5 donation. Members are free.
I hold regular monthly office hours at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters.
Suggested possible questions you might want to ask this month:
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
