Our Top 5 Take-Aways

1) We have decided to end our membership with 1% for the Planet as an environmentally oriented donation gateway and instead focus all of our 1% giving directly into our community. I want to be clear - community giving is still 100% a priority for AdventureUs, we're making this move to have more flexibility in our giving options. *Stay tuned for an update to our Missions and Values page*

2) Increase our in-person event opportunities by offering limited classes, showing up to community events, and adding on a NEW CheqBay Repair Day on the third Saturday in May.  We're inviting the community to bring over their beloved items in need of TLC for a day of DIY lessons, easy fixes, and fun. More info to come!  We also plan on leveling up to short personal videos to introduce you to our DIY products more closely.

3) Local and regional goods will continue to dominate our gift store, especially as we continue to add to our AdventureUs brand collection. With quality as a focus, we'll introduce new fun and functional products starting with "Accessories - fun bags, totes, aprons, home goods" and "Coffee accessories to compliment our in-house roasted Full Keel Coffee."

4) Our new additions to our brand will include trials of Zero-waste home products, Paw Booties, and Swim Shirts and Shorts (yes, we're being a bit optimistic here, lol).  We're also excited to start dabbling in one-of-a-kind pieces constructed from repurposed quilts and wool blankets.

5) Our sewing department continues to be a hot topic.  We'll continue with our plan for February Sewing Classes starting with beginner and skill building.  Stay tuned as we get some of our fabulous flannels, fun fleeces, and beginner patterns on the sales floor.

And lastly, we'll strongly consider Mukluk Sole Repair (we do already offer lacing and fabric restoration) along with becoming a winter CSA pick-up location.
