Tim Van Orden - Raw Vegan Athlete! Back in KC!

Whole Foods (map)

Selected By: Natalie George

Tim Van Orden is Back in Kansas City!
So let me explain why you won't want to miss this one...

In November of 2006, Maureen of Raw-KC Meetup had the honor of hosting Tim in Kansas City. With just a few days to get the message out, only seven people showed up. Here is what she posted on her message board after his last event:

Excellent! The light bulb went off for my husband. He said, Tim made it all make sense." Tim has this incredible gift of taking complex scientific studies and translating them for all to understand. His message was clear, concise, and interesting! It was hard not to walk away a changed person. This was a shot in the arm for me. I'm sorry that others missed this opportunity!

Tim's talk was the major turning point in Robert's health journey. I remember he told me the next day, "How does anyone walk away from that NOT a changed person?"

More about the event...

    Holy cacao! Tim is an AMAZING speaker! He could have talked for an entire weekend and I still don't know if Kansas City would have gotten enough of him. About 15 people asked him questions outside of Whole Foods after they closed for 1 hour and 30 minutes!!!!! He was invited after that to go to a restaurant to continue the discussions. Do you see.....Kansas City is crazy for Tim! :) Thanks for coming Tim. You've inspired me to inspire myself and be passionate about my passions!
