March

Snacks and catching up begins at 6:30 pm with a short meeting at 7 pm. The program will directly follow the meeting. Brooke Salvaggio is an organic farmer, community composter, and food activist here in Kansas City, MO. She owns URBAVORE Urban Farm & Compost Collective KC with her partner in “ecovangelism”, Daniel Heryer. Together Brooke and Dan have created the city’s largest, longest standing urban farm that feeds several hundred families every week. The farm specializes in heirloom vegetables, flowers, fruits, and pastured meat/eggs using regenerative practices that celebrate nature and build soil ecology. Their sister business Compost Collective KC is the only curbside compost company in the metro, collecting 25,000 pounds of food waste from individual households every single week. CCKC allows Kansas Citians to take climate action in their very own kitchen by keeping their food waste out of the landfill and returning it to local soil where it becomes nourishment once again. Together, these two businesses address food security, waste management, and soil restoration in a holistic, mutually beneficial way. This model for urban sustainability could be replicated in neighborhoods nationwide!

When: Tues, Mar 4,  6:30 pm
Where: Centriq Training, 1740 W. 92nd St., Kansas City, MO 64114.

Many members train for specific goals or events with the Sat Walk & Run Groups.  From time to time, we offer additional training opportunities. New for fall 2024,  we are adding an opportunity for a run or walk on Tuesday evenings (except for First Tuesday meeting nights). Women of all ages and abilities are welcome. Go your own pace and as far as you would like. We will meet at Meadowbrook Park near the clubhouse at 5:30pm in March.
