Repair Report: September 2026
Today marked one full year of Full Circle Fix-It Clinics! It was another successful event with near-record numbers of volunteers, clients, and repairs—and a very respectable 77% repair rate. We saw an exceptional amount of collaboration and are so grateful for the consistent crew of folks who help out every time, as well as the the new volunteers and those who make it when they can. The most unique item at this clinic was certainly the Zultan Fortune Teller machine (one of those Halloween props featuring a turban-wearing floating head). Unfortunately, the product's creators hadn't seen far enough into the future to make it repairable. "Made of too much plastic and glue to fix" was the verdict, and it seems Zultan may have told his final fortune.
Thanks as always to everyone who brought in their broken items instead of throwing them away. Here's to a successful first year of fixing and a strong start to year 2! Mark your calendar for our next event: November 14, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. And if you're feeling inspired to volunteer, sign up here!
