tour with one of the over 5,400 international events on 10.10.10 to promote
climate solutions. Spokane and Spokane Valley combined have 3 different

Our group will meet at Lincoln Heights, where everyone will bike or carpool

goat cheese, talk about food production close to town and enjoy a potluck
from everyone's contributions (please try to include at least one local
