Gardiner

In those days, Wendy Toman was running the Transfer Station for the Town of Gardiner, and her typically fun and creative way established a Take It Or Leave It Shed. In February 2014 she partnered with Nicole Lane, Director of the Gardiner Library, to organize the second repair cafe in the Hudson Valley--and the first to be held at a library. Also one of the few to meet on Sunday. In 2017, Wendy passed the torch to Ana Linneman, who nurtured a caring group of repairers and built it up beautifully. Since then, it has passed again to the stewardship of Holly Shader who also organizes the New Paltz Repair Cafe.
