Where should we be parking for this event? Is this being held in a City or County building?

Fixit Clinic THIS Sat Oct 28 Redwood City: Can You Coach?

Fixit Clinic <fixit...@gmail.com>: Oct 22 06:00PM -0700 Hi Fixit Coaches:   We’ve got a Fixit Clinic THIS Saturday Oct 28 11AM-2PM at the San Mateo County Center in Redwood City: can you coach? Sign up here: http://goo.gl/xS1MRK <http://goo.gl/xS1MRK>   See it on the web here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1609002885787381/ <https://www.facebook.com/events/1609002885787381/>, https://plus.google.com/events/c430ak01u3b64cs2bm3vgn1pmkk <https://plus.google.com/events/c430ak01u3b64cs2bm3vgn1pmkk>, http://www.bayareascience.org/calendar/index.php?eID=21221 <http://www.bayareascience.org/calendar/index.php?eID=21221> (and see the text announcement at the bottom)   This is our first Fixit Clinic on the SF Peninsula in many years and we’ll have a bunch of new Peninsula-based coaches, so it’d be great to have lots of veteran Fixit Coaches on hand to show them the ropes. I realize that San Mateo may be a considerable driving distance for some of you, I’m happy to reimburse for gas and tolls if that’s a consideration. (San Mateo County Center also a short walk from the Redwood City Caltrain Station (connect with BART at Millbrae): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Redwood+City+Station,+Redwood+City,+CA/455+County+Center+%23101,+Redwood+City,+CA+94063/@37.4873483,-122.2335726,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa24d54273973:0xaa4c77f55dc4bbea!2m2!1d-122.2317188!2d37.4858315!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa252707092db:0x2667d5de61cac845!2m2!1d-122.2307758!2d37.4888652!3e2 <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Redwood+City+Station,+Redwood+City,+CA/455+County+Center+#101,+Redwood+City,+CA+94063/@37.4873483,-122.2335726,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa24d54273973:0xaa4c77f55dc4bbea!2m2!1d-122.2317188!2d37.4858315!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa252707092db:0x2667d5de61cac845!2m2!1d-122.2307758!2d37.4888652!3e2> )   So far the coaches signed up are: Denise Chase (new --Welcome!)

We'll provide 1) workspace 2) specialty tools and 3) volunteer Fixit Coaches to consult with you on the disassembly and troubleshooting of your item.   Whether you fix it or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large. (Hopefully you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself.)   WHAT: Fixit Clinic CCXXXVI (236) San Mateo County Center WHEN: Saturday, Oc 28 11AM-2PM WHERE: San Mateo County Center 455 County Center, 1st floor, Room 101, Redwood City 94063 HOW: Register at http://goo.gl/qTzh9J <http://goo.gl/qTzh9J> then - Bring your broken item with all parts necessary to recreate the symptoms (carry-in only: no oversize items) - Bring any parts and tools you already own that might be helpful (e.g. hand tools, sewing supplies) - Come ready to describe what’s wrong and what you’ve tried (advance web research is helpful) - Come ready to learn and to share your knowledge with others WHO: An all-ages family-friendly event: accompanied children are heartily invited!
