Small Engine Repair Needed

Our summer Service & Outreach is often impacted by the number of working lawnmowers we have. We are in need of a person who has experience with small engine repair to help us for a day or two this spring servicing our mowers. Currently 7 out of 9 lawn mowers are in need of repair. Contact to help in this way.
