SARPA was recently told that street closure fees in Saint Paul are much less than our sister city to the west — hundreds, rather than thousands of dollars. maybe that's why every major race seems to go down Summit?

Fix-It on Summit

Mark your calendars for Macalester-Groveland's first Fix-it Clinic:
Sunday, October 13th • 12pm - 3pm 
at Laura Jeffrey Academy at 1550 Summit Avenue 

How it works:  Fix-it Clinics are completely free events where ANYONE can bring broken electronics, furniture, clothing, small appliances and other household items and receive help from a skilled volunteer to repair, mend, and fix them.  With our first event just around the corner, take a look around your basement, garage, or closets to find items you'd love to use if only they could be repaired... and bring them to the Fix-it Clinic!  You can even pick up a free reusable bag while you're there.

Volunteer fixers are still needed too! For more information, please contact Lauren at 651-695-4000 orlauren@macgrove.org.
