She plans to set up a table at the event as well to answer questions or provide further materials. “A lot of the restaurants on Main Street already have great practices,” she said. “We want to help the other restaurants that might not be composting or recycling move in that direction.” A company is expected to pick up recyclable materials after the event, and Wild Harvest Farms in Peoa will pick up items that can be composted, Rossi said. The leadership class then plans to col- The Park Record lect and share data on how much waste was diverted from the landfill because of the services. She hopes to see the project she is heading become a trend at Savor the Summit events in the future, as well as other major events in Park City. Rossi said that restaurants often believe that adopting sustainable practices such as recycling or composting is too difficult. With this event, she hopes to change that. “I think, ultimately, it is showing them how easy it can be,” she said. “Once they adapt, it is an easy process.” Following the event, the members of the leadership class and the restaurant association plan to host a screening of the film “Wasted!: The story of Food Waste.” Rossi said the film, which was produced by the late Anthony Bourdain, was the catalyst for Rossi and her classmates to pursue finding solutions for food waste in Park City. The screening is scheduled to take place on June 20 at 6 p.m. at the Jim Santy Auditori- 5K and 1-mile Color Run Saturday, June 23 PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Attendees of Park City’s annual Savor the Summit event feast on Main Street last year.

Following the film, a question-and-answer session will take place with Wild Harvest Farms to discuss composting for businesses and the Christian Center of Park City to discuss donating excess foods. Fund grants nonprofits’ wishes Grant recipient to be announced at event on July 9 CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record Four years ago, the Women’s Giving Fund began recruiting members and collecting donations to support nonprofits in the Park City area. PC Tots was selected as the first recipient of a $30,000 grant months later. The Women’s Giving Fund, which is a branch of the Park City Community Foundation and gives grants to nonprofits helping women and children in need, is currently in the process of choosing its fourth grant recipient. Members of the fund are able to vote for their favorite of the three finalists online until Monday, June 18. The finalists are Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah, Arts-Kids and Holy Cross Ministries. Katie Wright, executive director of the Park City Commu- nity Foundation, said that it is a tough decision because each of the nonprofits are “doing strong work and are really great organizations that will have a deep impact here.” If awarded the grant, ArtsKids plans to use the funds to create activities designed to build self-esteem, community skills and coping techniques in kids. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah would expand its mentoring programs, and Holy Cross Ministries would research, develop and implement an evidence-based prenatal curriculum. The grant winner is scheduled to be announced during the Women’s Giving Fund Grant Celebration on July 9 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Deer Valley’s Silver Lake Lodge. At the event, Wright said, representatives from the Peace House, which was awarded the grant last year, will speak about the work that the nonprofit has done with the funds. The Peace House is a nonprofit that works to end domestic abuse. Kendra Wyckoff, executive director of the Peace House, said that the organization is using the $30,000 grant to build transitional housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Twelve units are currently under construction near Round Valley Drive. “It is a significant contribution to the overall project,” she said. “It also is really an endorsement from the women in our community for the project, which has really created an incredible amount of momentum for the campaign and the project over the last year.” She said that she is excited to present an update to the people helping to make the project possible. The housing is expected to be completed by spring of 2019. Wright said that it is fulfilling to see what work the nonprofits have done with the grant money. “As an individual, you can only do so much, but when you come together and have this long-term approach, you are able to accomplish something really big every single year,” she said. “I think doing that together is powerful.” OPEN HOUSES TODAY Saturday, June 16th | 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm 1 485 Aspen Drive Summit Park | $785,000 2 4085 Saddleback Road Jeremy Ranch | $650,000 3 2020 Mahre Dr Sunpeak | $1,599,000 4 4307 Holly Frost Ct | Villa 12 Canyons Village | $1,245,000 & Up 5 3540 N Escala #226 Canyons Village 10 | $479,000 6 67 Thaynes Canyon Dr Thaynes Canyon | $1,899,999 7 2 Hidden Splendor Thaynes Canyon | $3,725,000 8 Silver Star Condominiums #3101 Old Town | $1,650,000 9 1347 Golden Way Aerie | $4,800,000 2 1 Kimball Jct 3 Snyderville 4 12 5 11 6 13 7 8 9 14 10 15 16 17 Heber 18 2685 Daystar Circle 10 Solamere | $2,500,000 2824 Holiday Ranch Loop Rd 11 Park Meadows | $990,000 2746 Uintah Court 12 Park Meadows | $2,999,000 6 Waterloo Circle 13 Prospector | $2,199,000 2024 High Street 14 Chatham Hills | $1,995,000 A-15 15 13598 Super G Lane Jordanelle | $444,000 16 5299 N Edgewood Jordanelle Ridge | $530,000 1980 Callaway 17 Cove at Valley Hills | $925,000 1051 S 500 E | Unit E-201 18 Ranch Landing in Heber | $245,000 Willow Creek Park 5K Fun Run 9am 1-mile Run 10am 100-yard Dash (5 year olds & younger) After 1-mile Run $15 ($45 per family) Pre-register online to receive a Fun Run t-shirt. www.basinrecreation.org (435) 655-0999 |
