Many thanks to all who came to our Greenhouse Initiative Benefit Event last week. We are extremely grateful for your donations and support. Special thanks goes out to Taliaferro & Browne (including Leonard Graham, Hagos Andebrhan, Greg Lever, Jeff Bowers, Meg Babani, and Melissa Langley), Jolie Justus, Scott Burnett, Mike Talboy, BNIM, and Center High School Poetry Club.
Taliaferro & Browne President Leonard Graham & CEO Hagos Andebrhan welcome Tulips on Troost supporters to the Greenhouse Initiative Benefit Event that they graciously hosted at their offices. Taliaferro & Browne is the leading design team for the new Troost MAX bus rapid transit line.
Senator Jolie Justus and Jackson County Legislator Scott Burnett, host and hostess of the event, shared about what Tulips on Troost means to them and the impact they believe it will have on Kansas City neighborhoods.
Tulips on Troost Founder Durwin Rice shares about Tulips on Troost's mission, emphasizing that it is about unification, history, and economic growth just as much as it is about tulips.
TOT supporters watch and listen to the brief presentations at the Greenhouse Initiative Benefit Event.
