The Keeler Women's Center (2220 Central, Kansas City, Kansas, 913-906-8990) is about empowerment. One of its methods: education. The urban organization offers a range of classes and workshops on such topics as parenting and starting home-based businesses, for example, or job readiness and home ownership. (Among its other services are support groups.) Tonight, though, it's all about appetite (and celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month):
Cooking Great Mexican Dishes the Low Fat Way, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Instructor Pat Callaghan previews the class with a few tips: "Use whole beans, less meat and lots of flavorful ingredients like cumin, cayenne and paprika instead of salt."
