About this event

A small, free gathering for neighbors, useful skills and unhurried conversation.

Join us from 4-7 pm at the fictional Juniper Commons in Portland. Come on your own; no group booking, equipment or experience is needed. RSVP for one free place.

Small plans, good company

We will make introductions, try a few simple clothing repairs and swap ideas for things we can do together. Watching, chatting or taking a quiet break are all welcome.

Tea, water and light snacks are provided; dinner and overnight accommodation are not included. Bring a reusable mug if you like. Ask the host about access or ingredients rather than assuming every activity or snack suits everyone.

Fictional demo people, venue and activities. This is a product demonstration, not a real public invitation.
