TNG’s March event is combining “Service with Socializing!” This was a huge success last year (and lots of fun!!), so let’s do it again!
We will fill gallon ziplock bags full of useful items (toiletries, snacks, socks, etc) and a few dollars. These bags can be kept in our cars and given to homeless people we see along the roadside, at exits, etc. This helps to bring ease into a person’s life….and more importantly…sharing an authentic connection helps to remove the shame and judgement often associated with homelessness.
In order to keep this simple, I will purchase items upfront in bulk from Amazon. The costs add up pretty quickly, so I am asking for a suggested $15-25 donation per person. If you want to pay that ahead of time, you can paypal me at [email protected] and put “Care Packet” in the memo. Otherwise, please bring cash or a check with you to the event. If there is extra money, we’ll donate it to the Jubilee Hunger Fund.
Also, bring an easy appetizer to share so we have munchies to snack on while we fill the bags and get to know each other! This is a Jubilee sponsored event, but please invite any of your friends! Kid friendly as well!

“Vaden Landers is a multi-instrumentalist from eastern Tennessee. As a young man he began traveling America’s highways and railroads, studying American folk music styles such as Old-time, Country, Blues, Cajun & Jug. With a voice like a young Hank Williams, and an acute musical attention to detail, he plays with an authenticity that he hopes will spread the knowledge. “

Adding a Southeast destination for designer toy makers and collectors, *Assembly Required brings designer, bootleg and art toy artists from around the country, to present and sell their work.
Asheville’s premiere designer toy expo, *Assembly Required, is presented by Unboxing Asheville, Morgan’s Comic’s, 103.3 Asheville FM and Appalachian Pinball Museum. Focusing on this artistic movement, designer toys are a form of lowbrow pop art. These toy makers pull inspiration from a variety of subversive segments of culture, as well as subcultural elements, including (but not limited to) comics, tattooing, street art, and everything related to toys of the 60’s through the 80’s.
Echoing production methods of traditional toy manufacturers, designer toys are usually intended to be displayed as collectibles, rather than to be played with. Toy makers mediums range from resin to vinyl, from plastic to plush; with molding, and production techniques such as kitbash, sofubi and bootleg (recently coined ‘Artisanal Action Figure’, by New York Times writer, Rich Juzwiak [11/23/18]). (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/style/bootleg-toys-action-figures.html).
Juzwiak interviews such artists as the Sucklord and Killer Bootlegs, both of whom will be present at *Assembly Required.

The Mens Cooking class has been a popular spring event for over 30 years, with the Extension program winning numerous honors at the state and national level. Each class includes instruction, hands-on practice, and a lunch prepared by class members. The class concludes with a gala graduation ceremony. Men may take the course for a variety of reasons: personal interest, increased culinary responsibilities due to the death or disability of a spouse, or a desire to eat healthier. Whatever the reason, participants will learn basic cooking skills, have fun, and enjoy fellowship with fellow class members.

5Rhythms is a movement journey of unraveling, unwinding and embodying the thread that connects us all. Soften as your soul borrows your head, hands, feet, hips… giving you an internal shower and sending you back out in this unpredictably magical world with a renewed lightness of being; knowing more clearly what you’ve always known….but perhaps, temporarily, forgot. ♥ $10-20 Energy Exchange. ***Please do not Park in the French Broad Food Co-Op lots!! Park in the small lot across from the Orange Peel, the LaZoom Lot to the left of the FBFC or the ALoft Parking Lot (all the lots have a small parking fee).
