The Highland Park Players will present Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “School of Rock!” this month. Performances are slated for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11, 12, 17, 18, 19
Number of items fixed per session (held once a month): 30-60
Volunteer skill sets: At each session, we have about two to four sewers, three to four in electrical and two to three in general and mechanical (who fix items such as bikes and sharpen secateurs).
Shortest fix – the shortest fix took just three seconds. A man brought in a chainsaw and wasn’t aware that it had a safety lock on it.
Longest fix: the longest fix was a TV that took three hours. Our volunteers have incredible persistence, and this one refused to let the TV defeat him. By the end there were a few of them working on it and together they managed to fix it.
