 \n<li>Fixers are volunteers. Repairs are not guaranteed\, but Fixers do th
 eir best. If you know your repair requires parts\, please bring those part
 s. Fixers have all the basic tools.</li>\n<li>What can be fixed? This depe
 nds on the skill set of our volunteers. Our current volunteer Fixers are g
 reat with electrical (lamps\, wiring\, etc.)&nbsp\;We do not fix electroni
 cs (cell phones\, laptops\, etc.). Tell us a bit about your item when you 
 register\, we will follow up with you if we need more information or to su
 ggest any parts you might need to bring.</li>\n<li>This is a learning oppo
 rtunity for all involved.&nbsp\;This is not a drop-off event. We encourage
  visitors to sit with the Fixer\, learn about what they're doing\, and len
 d a hand. It's about figuring it out\, together.</li>\n</ul>\n<hr />\n<p>T
