Measurement Matters:

Virtually enjoy the process of marbling, the antique process of floating paint on a thickened water surface. Watch as Pam Granger Gale drops paint onto the surface and each drop expands. More and more paint drops push others around without mixing. Then combs and rakes are used to create both historical and freeform patterns. Paper is placed on the surface and captures this monoprint forever.
During this free one-hour interactive webinar, Mountain BizWorks Coach Mike Ames will provide an overview of the rules surrounding the Small Business Administration’s PPP program and walk you through 8 Guidelines for PPP Forgiveness that can help your business maximize the forgivable portion of your loan, before opening the webinar for questions.
In the meantime, as a PPP loan borrower, there are two very important things you must do to avoid trouble and maximize your forgiveness amount under this program. First, your business MUST use at least 60% of your loan proceeds for eligible payroll costs. And you must make sure that your PPP loan proceeds are only spent on items from the very specific list of eligible uses for funds. Failure to meet these guidelines will certainly reduce your potential forgiveness, AND could even create penalties including fines or criminal charges if the use is determined to be fraudulent. Get a deep dive on these two key things and 6 more guidelines, as well as lots of helpful tips and tricks in this webinar!
Prior to the webinar, we recommend reading MBW’s Guide to Maximizing Your PPP Forgiveness, which contains the latest information and examples to help you better understand the program, consider strategies to optimize your results, and answer common questions.
PPP is a very new program, created extraordinarily quickly by the Federal Government to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on employment. We are still getting frequent clarifications, new rules and guidance from the Small Business Administration and Department of the Treasury. As the program is refined we will continue to update the guide and make the most recent version available at our COVID-19 Funding Help Center website page.
We are so excited to announce that we are reopening for dine-in, take-out, and delivery on August 26th. From our contactless payments, to online ordering to digital waitlists, and countless other new safety measures, we’ve been busy making lots of changes to help keep our staff, guests and community safe. One thing we haven’t changed is our commitment to provide you with the best quality food, drinks, and service in town. We will be open Wednesday through Sunday nights for dinner, and while we encourage reservations, walk-in tables are also available utilizing our mobile waitlist. Additionally we offer pick-up or delivery with online ordering available on our website. We would also like to announce a change in our management. After decades of fantastic work in the service industry, Sam Douglas, is leaving to be able to spend more time with his family and explore opportunities in real estate. While we are sad to see him go, we’re excited to announce that our Executive Chef, Chris Benson, will be adding the role of General Manager. He’ll bring along some familiar faces to help him, Savanna Millet as Front of House Manager and Christopher Ducker as Sous Chef. Using their combined 50 years of industry experience, they’ll work together to make sure Bone & Broth continues to be your favorite spot in town. We’ve all missed you so much and look forward to getting to serve you once again.
We’re starting something new for you all: Wednesday Night Date Night! Join us for dinner from 5-9PM every Wednesday for a fun evening with a great deal.
For $27, you’ll get your choice of two small salads or one large salad, one appetizer, and one pizza (specialty or a 3-topping BYO) from Grata Pizzeria. Add two UpCountry beers for a total of $37.
See you here!

Jenner Fox is a multi-faceted, uber-talented individual. A talented singer-songwriter hailing from Oregon and an experienced river guide who roams the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and then switches hemispheres to run the rivers of Patagonia.
On the river and on the road, Jenner is a folk singer with music that ranges from a soft mandolin melody to full-blown guitar strumming that has strings on the edge of breaking. He draws his influence from river canyons, urban communities, John Prine, Josh Ritter, and the people, roads, and stories in between. His lyrics will make you laugh one moment and wipe away tears the next. His CD will live in your player long after you hear him, and will take you right back to the emotions that his talents, voice, and personality crafted.
“Jenner combines the lyricism of Joni Mitchell and the commentary of Neil Young to represent the next generation of singer songwriters.” – Grammy nominated producer, Cookie Marenco
Live Streaming event – Donations requested for the artist. This event will be streamed live from the Mountain Spirit Facebook Page

Black Label Society bandleader Zakk Wylde wields his guitar like a Viking weapon, bashing out thick riffage and squeezing out expressive squeals as if the glory of his Berserker brotherhood depends upon every single note, which of course, it does.
Over the last half a dozen years or so, John Moreland’s honesty has stunned us––and stung. As he put hurts we didn’t even realize we had or shared into his songs, we sang along. And we felt better. But there has always been far more to Moreland than sad songs. Today, his earthbound poetry remains potent, but in addition to his world-weary candor, Moreland’s music smolders with gentle wisdom, flashes of wit and joy, and compassion. And once again, as we listen, we feel better.
“David Wilcox is a father, a husband, a citizen and a songwriter. First inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell. Wilcox is now 18 records into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music.”
Listen to his song New Blue Horizon on our playlist.

Census – Please respond
It’s not too late! This once-a-decade population count of everyone who lives in the United States is mandated by the U.S. Constitution, and everyone is required to participate. Responses from the census help determine how federal funds are allocated for critical public services and programs in communities around the country for the next 10 years. If you haven’t responded yet, respond now—online, by phone, or by mail. Respond Now
If you don’t care about all the other things the Census is used for, like determining how many representatives each state has in Congress, and so much more, you should care that the population count affects the share of available federal money that comes to the French Broad River MPO for local programming. That money has paid for sidewalks on Hendersonville Rd and Patton Avenue, and will help pay for sidewalks on Johnston Blvd, Deaverview Rd, New Leicester Highway, plans for permanently redesigning Coxe Avenue, and more. Respond Now – please.
