Wordsmithing the copy for the event

From the LVL1 folks up in Kentucky

While we at LVL1 have always encouraged folks to fix their stuff we know it may be hard for newcomers to jump in and join us so we're setting up a formal time for folks to get together and help each other fix things. So... got something that's broken? Feel free to bring it in and see what our volunteers can do. Maybe we can fix it, maybe not; we'll have fun working on it.

If you're interested in learning more see this short post on our website with a video and a link to the wikipedia article.

 We're hosting our first Repair Cafe where members and guests are in invited to bring in something* that they would like to fix or need help fixing.  The makerspace and tools are available and we'll see what we can do to try to get it fixed.  Maybe we can fix it, maybe not; we'll have fun working on it.

+Repair Cafes concept has been showing up on my Facebook lately with people suggesting we should do it at the Station.  It's basically like a meetup where people can bring their broken stuff and try to fix it (get help fixing) and then take their item home.
