Zero Waste Marin and our Contact Lieutenant Fraass at 415-289-4171 or [email protected]. partners want to pass along a few tips to help residents reduce the amount of food that goes to waste.

• Practice Smart Shopping—Check your pantry and fridge to see what you already have before going grocery shopping. • Make a List—Make a grocery list and stick to it! Avoiding impulse buys will help save money. • Buy What You Need—To keep fresh produce from spoiling, buy only enough to last a week. • Shop a Local Farmer’s Market—Everything will be fresh and seasonal and will be sold virtually package-free so you won’t end up with lots of plastic bags and containers that need to be discarded. • Prep Now, Enjoy Later—Prepare and store food items properly to reduce cooking prep time by half. • Use Your Freezer--Freeze excess meat, fruit and bread in reusable containers to make them last longer. • Store Food Correctly—Not all fresh fruits and vegetables should go in the fridge. Apples, berries, grapes and oranges should be refrigerated while bananas, mangos, tomatoes and potatoes belong in a cool place in your kitchen. • Increase the Life of Your Food—Move food that is likely to spoil soon to a designated “eat now” area in the front of your pantry or fridge. • Repurpose Food Scraps—Blend overripe fruit into a smoothie, and turn leftover meat and veggie scraps into soup, stew or a frittata. • Donate Extra Food—Too many leftovers? Learn more about how to manage extra food from local organizations, such as the San Francisco- Marin Food Bank, the Ritter Center or the St. Vincent De Paul Society. • Compost! All your food scraps that aren’t fit for donation should go into your green cart. Bay Cities Refuse Services offers weekly collection of food scraps and yard trimmings for residents and businesses.

MLK Park shaping up to be an All-Age Friendly Outdoor Recreation Facility In September, Age Friendly Sausalito representatives accompanied Parks and Recreation Director, Mike Langford to Davis, California for a tour of three very different parks to review outdoor exercise equipment from a range of manufacturers to get ideas for the best equipment for an adult/older adult exercise-play area to be installed in Martin Luther King Park on Coloma Street. In addition to renovating the tennis courts, the City is preserving a basketball court, and installing two senior-friendly pickleball courts. An improved walking path is also in the plans along with the regraded play field for adult and youth sports. By creating a special area with adult level exercise apparatus, suitable for seniors, the City is creating a true Intergenerational Outdoor facility which will serve the recreational needs of Sausalito’s children, youth, adults, and our oldest residents.

Come Take a Hike Sausalito Board Member Jackie Kudler has been hiking the trails of GGNRA and Mt. Tam for most of her years of living in Sausalito. In fact, she wrote hiking columns with her sister, Arlene, that appeared in the Pacific Sun and a collection of their hikes, Walking from Inn to Inn was published in 1986. Now in her eighth decade of life, she is looking forward to sharing her love of the outdoors with others interested in joining her for a monthly adventure. Sausalito Parks and Recreation Director Mike Langford inspects outdoor adult Hiking trips are open to all and will take place on the fourth Tuesday of equipment to review possibilities for MLK Park the month.

How does CARSS work? The idea behind CARSS is simple—neighbor helping neighbor. Many of our residents are no longer able to drive but want to stay connected to our community as they age. Providing a ride door to door can offer needed socialization. Rides are given to the stores, salons, friends’ homes, restaurants— anyplace the riders request as long as it is in the geographical area of Sausalito, the floating homes and Gateway Shopping Center. Drivers use their own cars to provide the short distance ride—similar to Uber/Lyft but as a volunteer. Rides are provided Monday through Friday between the hours of 10am and 2pm. Volunteers are asked to sign up for one shift per month. Check out the website for more information: www. carss4you.org or phone 415-944-5474.

Vina Del Mar was Sausalito’s first sister city, established in 1964. During Chile’s tumultuous political times, our involvement with VDM was temporarily halted at the request of the U.S. State Department to protest human rights treatments in that country. In 2011, a small group of SSCI representatives, led by then Mayor Herb Weiner visited VDM and their Mayor Virginia Reginato to re-ignite the sister city relationship.

Topics included preparing yourself for difficult conversations and presenting yourself professionally, manufacturing operations and marketing, retail ownership, risks and rewards, online marketing alternatives, defining your value proposition, and meeting customer needs. In addition, eleven AGEP business owners where interviewed and mentored on their business operations as part of our on-going hands-on involvement in assisting their efforts to grow and successfully operate their enterprise. Meetings with Mayor Virginia Reginato of Vina del Mar and Mayor Jorge Sharp Fajardo of Valparaiso, along with other regional government executives furthered our Sister City relationship. Additional meetings with tourism executives in both the city of Vina Del Mar and the adjacent region of Valparaiso were conducted with the focus on planning a 2020 Citizens tour to Santiago and the Vina Del Mar/ Valparaiso regions. The Women of AGEP applied for and received federal and local government funding to establish the First Congress of Latin American Business Women, with attendance of more than 200 women from Peru, Dominican Republic, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and other regions of the Latin/South American areas. The purpose of the Congress was to provide a platform of collaboration and best practice sharing for business women engaged in owning and operating a small business in their country. AGEP is coordinating with the U.S. National Organization of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and plans to participate in the 2019 Global Women’s event in Peru. For more details on our trip and to become a part of the Vina Del Mar program, please contact Monica Finnegan at mfinnegan@ urbanrealestateadvisors.com.

36 COMMUNITY PAGES COMMUNITY PAGES A Sausalito Tradition: 12th Annual Gingerbread House Tour The ovens are warming, the gumdrops are in place and the icing has been spread! The 12th Annual Sausalito Gingerbread House Tour and Competition will be in full swing for the month of December. The Tour has become a true family holiday tradition. From the very young to the very young at heart, the reaction to this magical experience is the same—one of wonder, awe and delight. Merchants and businesses all over town are participating again this year, with houses on display every day during the month of December. You’ll find houses downtown along Bridgeway, on Caledonia Street, in “Old Town” and at the north end of town. Most of them can be viewed on foot in one afternoon. In fact, not all of these confectionary delights are strictly “houses”. There are no rules for the friendly competition, and participants are encouraged to let their creativity flow. Categories Include: Angelino’s • Most Traditional Award, honoring the gingerbread house with the most commitment to building in the classic holiday style. • Best Teamwork Award: businesses or groups can work together. • Most Creative Award: Thinking outside the box. • Best Sausalito Theme, for the creation which is the most representative of the Sausalito setting and culture. • Mayor’s Choice Award • Special Award: Issued by a “Secret Judge”

Just imagine what you’ll be seeing this year! Each participant will be given a “special little something” to work into their design. Wonder what it will be? Hosted by the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce, the Gingerbread House Tour and Competition makes for a fun family outing, a diversion while holiday shopping, or an excuse to get together for lunch in one of Sausalito’s fantastic restaurants. There is no charge to visit the houses and metered Cavallo Point street parking is FREE the entire month of December.

Maps of the tour will be available at participating merchants, at the Kiosk at the Ferry Landing, or by downloading at www.sausalito.org. To view photos, visit us on Facebook (Sausalito Gingerbread House Tour).
