Funds raised during this year’s Drums & Dragons will allow Blue Ridge Health to greatly improve medical treatment options for low-income families, help The Community Table prevent families in Jackson County from going to bed hungry, and allow developmentally challenged adults to thrive with the help of caring Staff of the Irene Wortham Center. Your generosity will also help St. Gerard House improve their capacity to serve children with autism, allow caregivers respite while their family members attend MountainCare’s Adult Day services, and provide low-cost temporary housing at the Rathbun House, the only Hospitality House in the region, for non-Buncombe area residents whose families are undergoing medical treatment in nearby hospitals. Please join us and donate if you can!

Ponderer’s Cafe is an easygoing, guided, questioning group to cultivate and share perspectives with each other.
We are challenging ourselves, not each other. We seek better questions, not better answers. We speak only for ourselves not for the group.
Meet and greet at 6 pm, Pondering starts at 6:30.
The link to the Zoom meeting is now part of each meetup, all you need do is to click the link to join. Make sure you have the Zoom app on whatever device you are using.
We’re now VIRTUAL. Sign up here as usual and make sure I have your email. Meetups will be restricted to 25 people per night.

Check-out the details below:
– Fun Halloween music and decorations throughout the building
– Admission is $10
– Admission gets you (1) Beer Token and up to 6 entries in your group (i.e. 1 Adult & 5 Kids, etc.)
– A special treat for each person in your group at each station

What is a Haywood Road Clean Up Day?
A morning where volunteers work to pick up litter (trash and recycling) along the Haywood Road corridor with the support of the West Asheville Business Association.
How is this event different from other WABA cleanup days?
Safety is our top priority when working with and in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of restrictions to gatherings and use of public spaces, we will not be providing volunteers breakfast prior to the cleanup. You can review Asheville GreenWorks Communicable Disease Volunteer Guidelines here.
How do I participate?
1-RSVP using this registration form
2-Pick out your costume for the clean up day – you may win a prize!
3-Meet at the Trinity United Methodist Church parking lot on Balm Grove Road on Saturday October 31st at 10am to receive your gear and instructions
4-Head out to pick up of trash and recycling along the Haywood Road corridor and side streets
5-Return your gear to Asheville GreenWorks
Is this a family-friendly event?
Yes, although not recommended for very small children. Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up.
Should I bring anything?
Asheville GreenWorks will provide gloves, safety vests, and trash bags for everyone. WABA will provide trash grabbers. Please bring any personal items, including snacks and water, that you need.

Greetings everyone! I’m excited to let you know that I’m the new organizer of this group! The purpose of this group is to give Asheville singles a forum for events and discussions. To that end the only requirement for joining is to be single! There are no age limitations – just a desire to want to connect. Member feedback will determine the events so everyone will have a say in what we do. I look forward to meeting everyone and hearing your ideas!
