Jan 2: Operation Finale (rated PG-13)
Fifteen years after the end of World War II, a team of top-secret Israeli agents travels to Argentina to track down Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to their deaths in concentration camps. Hoping to sneak him out of the country to stand trial, agent Peter Malkin soon finds himself playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the notorious war criminal.

Jan 9: Lizzie (rated R)
In 1892, Lizzie Borden lives a quiet life in Massachusetts under the strict rules established by her father. Lizzie finds a kindred spirit in the live-in maid, Bridget, and friendship soon blossoms into a secret romance. But tension mounts in the Borden household, leading to a violent breaking point.

Jan 16: Mission Impossible: Fallout (rated PG-13)
Ethan Hunt and the IMF team join forces with CIA assassin August Walker to prevent a disaster of epic proportions. Arms dealer John Lark and a group of terrorists known as the Apostles plan to use three plutonium cores for a simultaneous nuclear attack on the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca, Saudi Arabia. When the weapons go missing, Ethan and his crew find themselves in a desperate race against time to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

Jan 23: A Simple Favor (rated R)
A Simple Favor, directed by Paul Feig, centers around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily’s (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town.

Jan 30: First Man (rated PG-13)
The riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the years 1961-1969. A visceral, first-person account, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the movie explores the sacrifices and the cost—on Armstrong and on the nation—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.

It started as an idea to “party with a purpose” in 1999. 20 years later, the Asheville Affiliates is a community network of over 3,000 members who’ve raised more than $500,000 for local nonprofits. Many iconic annual fundraisers actually started as Asheville Affiliates parties. If you’re looking for a fun and meaningful way to get involved and give back, join us for a meet and greet.

Each year, the Asheville Affiliates selects three to four non-profits and hosts a fundraising party for each one, with volunteer board members assisting with planning, budgeting, venue selection, sponsorship, and marketing. This mixer is a great opportunity to find out what it means to become a board member or a non-profit partner. There’s no pressure and you’ll have an opportunity to chat one-on-one with current and previous board members.

This event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Board member and non-profit applications are available online at https://www.ashevilleaffiliates.com/contact-and-applications/

Thanks to Catawba Brewing Company for sponsoring the Asheville Affiliates since the very first year! #Cheers

Join us for this dual author event.

Karen McManus, bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying presents a page turning mystery Two Can Keep a Secret.

Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery’s never been there, but she’s heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. The town is picture-perfect, but it’s hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing. Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she’s in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous–and most people aren’t good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it’s safest to keep your secrets to yourself.

Megan Miranda, bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger presents the captivating thriller, Come Find Me.

After surviving an infamous family tragedy, sixteen-year-old Kennedy Jones has made it her mission to keep her brother’s search through the cosmos alive. But then something disturbs the frequency on his radio telescope–a pattern registering where no signal should transmit. In a neighboring county, seventeen-year-old Nolan Chandler is determined to find out what really happened to his brother, who disappeared the day after Nolan had an eerie premonition. There hasn’t been a single lead for two years, until Nolan picks up an odd signal–a pattern coming from his brother’s bedroom. Drawn together by these strange signals–and their family tragedies–Kennedy and Nolan search for the origin of the mysterious frequency. But the more they uncover, the more they believe that everything’s connected–even their pasts–as it appears the signal is meant for them alone, sharing a message that only they can understand. Is something coming for them? Or is the frequency warning them about something that’s already here?

Bowled Over: How to Create Visual Interest on Simple Forms

Laurie Caffery Harris

Wednesdays 6:30-9pm
January 9- February 27

Bowls are often overlooked by potters because they are such a simple form, but they have so much potential! In this intermediate level class, we will explore bowls of all sizes and shapes on the potter’s wheel to create forms that reflect your unique style. We will also discuss and practice surface design through mishima (slip inlay), painting, and sgraffito carving. By the end of the session we will have made pieces that are not only visually interesting, but accurately represent your personal style and sensibilities.

Level: Intermediate and Advanced
Tuition: $310 + $50 Lab Fee

¡Triskatrivia!
2019’s Themes: (updated as they are determined)

Jan 9th – Post-Apocalyptic Movies/TV
Jan 16th – America at War
Jan 23rd – Fantasy Fiction
Jan 30th – Horror Movies

¡TriskaTrivia! is Triskelion’s Themed Movie Night!
Starts at 7pm, and usually lasts at least an hour and a half.

Glorious Prizes:

First Place Team: $25 Gift Card
Second Place Team: $15 Gift Card

Each member of the team that wins the Very Hard Questions Round (almost always Round 3), will win a free beer.

If at least 6 people dress up in costumes that relate to the night’s theme, then the best dressed (determined by me) wins a free beer!

(that means if your entire team of 6 are the only ones dressed up, then a member of your team is destined to get a free beer)

There are six rounds, with 10 questions each, and each round will be on a different subject that relates to the night’s theme… Each question is worth 5 points.

Teams can consist of up to six players, or you can play by yourself if you have no friends.

Cheating is not allowed… no phones, no “yelling out of answers” (even wrong ones), and no handy reference materials… This is not an open book trivia night.

Children are allowed, but consider each theme and use your own judgement. There may be adult content.

Come on out and show off your Brainz!!!

(or lack thereof)

Can you spot human trafficking? People in trafficking situations often look like they are going about their normal routine; because of the hidden nature of human trafficking, Project West NC is committed to bringing visibility to its underlying causes. Since many trafficking survivors are leaving their abusers without money, food, clothing or transportation, we are packing backpacks with donated items survivors can use to take care of themselves while seeking safety. Come have a drink, help us pack backpacks or just come to hang out! If you have donations, feel free to bring them by!
