Literacy Together has a determined group of students waiting for volunteer tutors so they can move forward on their goals for a better future. We’re offering in-person and remote volunteer opportunities. We have programs teaching English to immigrants, adult literacy for folks working on a GED, and youth literacy for kids struggling to learn to read. In addition, we welcome everyone -even if they are not ready to volunteer- to attend to learn about the literacy challenges we face in Buncombe County. Thank you!
Many years ago, the Shag was born on the beaches of South Carolina, with songs like Carolina Girls, Myrtle Beach Days, and Give Me Just A Little More Time. Many young men and women danced their days and nights away with the carefree music of the Carolinas, and now you can too!
To harken back to those carefree days, Karen Workman and Roger Carr, local dance pros, will be teaching a four week session of Carolina Shag dance. Shag is now known as the state dance of both NC and SC. It is widely popular throughout the Southeast and danced in several local area shag clubs, including the Mountain Shag Club and the Rutherford County Shag Club. Karen and Roger have spent many years competing, teaching, and coaching Shag dancers throughout the Upstate and Western NC. They have been featured dancers in several Theater shows in the area, including Milltown Players and Tryon Little Theater.
Shag classes will be on Thursdays, beginning March 28 and will run through April 18. The classes will get underway at 6:30 pm in the Tryon Fine Arts Center Pavilion. The four week series will be $65 per person. For more information, contact the box office or visit the website at tryonarts.org.
This dance is fragrance-free (no perfume, cologne, strong deodorant, etc.), out of respect for those with sensitivities.
If this is your first time dancing with us, your second dance is free!

Democrats need to be more actively messaging and to overcome the makers of fake news with the truth! Join this ongoing group of writers working together on Letters to the Editor and Opinion Editorials. We’ll discuss the issues we care about most deeply and craft a plan to respond to events as they occur in real time. The group meets every other Monday for writing, responding to one another’s work, scheduling submissions and exploring media outlets across the state.
“Rant with purpose. Support with facts. Propel action.” – Myra Schoen
Who should attend: Buncombe County Democrats!
Welcome to our weekly community contra dance in West Asheville! The Monday Night Dance has been around for decades, and we are carrying the torch forward! We are a loving, kind, and safe dance community and highly encourage masking during the dance. No derogatory comments in relation to masking will be tolerated! We encourage non-maskers to mask while partnering with a dancer wearing a mask, or to at least ask if the person would like them to mask while they dance with them.
Time: Contra dancing 8:15–10:30pm, with a beginner lesson starting at 7:45 and a waltz session ending the evening.
Location: St. George’s Center for Art and Spirit, 1 School Rd., Asheville, NC 28806
Cost: $12–$45 sliding scale, CASH ONLY. Please pay as much as you can afford to cover the cost of the wonderful live music, the caller, sound person, rent, and other expenses! ATMs are available at banks on Patton Ave., as well as cash back options at local gas stations and grocery stores.
Requirements: Face masks and sign-in agreeing to the dance’s Safety Guidelines.
Please enter through the front red doors to the sanctuary. Extra parking available in the lots between Moore’s Foot and Ankle and St. George’s (please avoid parking in front of their practice.) This is a scent-free dance. Please bring your own water and water bottle. Beginners are encouraged to attend! Beginner-friendly dances start the contra dancing in lieu of a lesson.
Community Focus
The Monday Night Dance is more than just a dance; the community is deeply rooted. Folks are welcome to sell their wares, like jewelry, dance shoes, dance clothes, pottery, etc. They are also welcome to leave business cards and help wanted or work needed ads. Additionally, the Take Some Leave Some Closet is a new feature of the MND. You can take any clothes, food, produce, feminine products or first aid supplies that we have, and as you are able you can also leave some to replenish. Private times to receive from the closet can also be arranged during the week depending on to the dance organizer’s availability.
We emphasize safety here at the MND. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged, and courtesy to those choosing to mask is required. No discrimination to those wearing masks will be tolerated! In addition, this is a family and LGBTQ-friendly dance and a safe event for ALL races, ethnicities, genders, ages, shapes, and sizes. Accordingly, no discrimination, inappropriate sexually predatory behavior, racist or discriminatory comments, bullying, or verbal or physical abuse of ANY kind will be tolerated. See our Safety Guidelines for more info.
Ours is a dance built on volunteerism, and we need your help to survive! Please consider volunteering or becoming a patron by giving a monetary gift. Opening, door and closing help are some of the volunteer jobs available. Those completing their entire shift dance free! Email [email protected] for more info and to sign up.
Finally, please follow, like and join us on Facebook!
Thanks so much and see you on the dance floor!

Volunteerism: Recruiting, Training and Retaining will cover approaches to the modern era of volunteerism. Cultural changes, including work life, gender roles, and need for flexibility have led to new considerations when building a volunteer pool. We need more than warm bodies to win elections and keep the party strong. Consider how to build up a skilled volunteer force that will stay engaged for more than one event and even more than one election.
