Where to repair a lens?

Hi pals,
I'm not really sure where to post this'un, so please do redirect me if necessary.
Tonight I broke my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. I displayed very poor judgement and set my camera down in a place that would make everyone roll their eyes. Lesson learned. The camera is fine, but the hood lens hit the ground first, resulting in the interior mechanism of the lens breaking loose from the exterior (pic attached).
I can see how the parts fit back together, but it looks a bit like adhesive will be necessary and I can tell that this is above my skill level. I bought the lens new for around $100.00 from Amazon and I have no idea if it's worth my while to send this thing in for repair, nor to where I would send it.
My thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks very much for the straightforward reply Jim... that was my worry. I purchased the lens because it was so dang cheap, so it wasn't a huge investment for the lovely shots I've taken. I'll either buy a new one or invest that 100 bucks toward a Tamron 28-75, which will cover the 50mm range nicely (though it may not be as quick).
Have an excellent Spring!
