Member Meeting Updates from
May 10, 2016
Thank you for a great meeting at Empty the Nest on May 10th! We made some amazing connections and shared valuable information. Here are some of the highlights.
Fix-it Clinics are happening monthly in both Dakota County and Hennepin County . For more information, contact Hennepin County Fix-It Clinics via phone at 612-348-9195 or via email. You can also follow Dakota Fix-It Clinics on Facebook.
The University of Minnesota ReUse Program is looking for ideas for moving large quantities of office furniture (i.e. cubicles, desks, tables, chairs). If you have a creative solution, they can be contacted via email or by phone at 612-626-9152.
Makeville is looking for a large space to lease. If you have information to provide in regard to leasing a space, please contact Frank via email.
Looking for something to wear as it begins to get warmer? Arc's Value Village is offering 50% off on Memorial Day!
Companies to Classrooms (one of our founding members) just celebrated 10 years! They have reused over $3.5 million since opening!! Did you know that they have an eBay site where anyone (not just schools) can buy their refurbished electronics and support their mission?
Explore your neighborhood in a whole new way by supporting the University of Minnesota in hosting Open Streets for the 2nd year. The University of Minnesota welcomes reuse, rental, and repair businesses to join in their ReUse-A-Palooza on Saturday, October 1st in Dinkytown. Please email stacey@reusemn.org for more information.
Better Futures MN provides snow/lawn care,whole house deconstruction, and janitorial services. They also sell high quality home appliances, fixtures, and building materials. They can be contacted directly from their webpage or by phone at 612.455.6133.
If you have a repair skill that can be shared quickly and simply with the public (think rewiring a lamp, sewing on a button, hemming pants), you may be a great fit to help at the ReUSE MN “Repair for Reuse” space at the State Fair EcoExperience. It’s a great way to share your business! Interested? Contact Alicia W.
