Maria Martinez is a handywoman indeed (ten.knilhtrae|namowydnah#ten.knilhtrae|namowydnah), who owns her own small business here in Seattle, doing home and garden maintenance and repair. Kathleen Merrigan is a retired City Light electrical worker and building manager of New Freeway Hall. And Sukey Wolf spent many years in the Building Maintenance and Repair Department for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART).

We'll be working in small groups with plenty of individual attention and practice that will leave you ready to release your inner handy-worker on your own projects and repairs.

Funds raised will benefit the Freedom Socialist newspaper's $80,000 fund drive.
