Moments With Marianne

New to the Hudson Valley, Elizabeth Knight visited a Repair Cafe in a neighboring city. Impressed by the "fixit" skills and warm welcome that volunteers extended to all the strangers who walked through the door clutching torn shirts, wobbly chairs and wonky lamps, she started the first Repair Cafe in Orange County. Elizabeth is the former tea sommelier for the historic St. Regis Hotel located in New York City. Widely recognized as one of the country's foremost authorities on tea and entertaining, she has appeared on national television and radio programs including WNBC's "Today in New York," WOR's "Food Talk," The Travel Channel, The Home Shopping Network and QVC. https://www.repaircafeusa.org/repair-revolution-book Catherine A.
