============================================
Asheville Drag Brunch is the littlest big show in town! The event is designed to showcase local and guest drag queens, promote local restaurant businesses, and support local organizations.
The show happens at multiple venues, is fast-paced family-friendly fun, and is designed to raise funds for non-profit organizations. These local groups rotate and are advertised with each individual show.
A ticket to brunch ensures a seat at a table or bar, the meal, and a beverage. Remember to bring tips for the queens as this is the main way they raise additional money for the local non-profit.
During the glitter-adorned affairs, patrons howl, clap and cheer as the queens channel celebrities with spot-on lip syncing and sky-high heels. And wherever you look, there is cause for celebration. Lively groups — of different genders, races and ages — whoop it up for all sorts of special occasions, from birthdays to bachelorettes to anniversaries, and even divorces.

The Asheville JCC Israeli Film Series continues in March with:
THE MUSEUM – film and discussion
Sunday, March 10 at 2pm
About the film:
The Museum is a film that observes, examines and ponders Israel’s most important cultural institution, the Israel Museum. The film follows the visitors, observes the observers, listens to the speakers and descends to the storerooms, labs and conference rooms. The American museum director, the singing security guard, the Jerusalemite curator, the Haredi kashrut inspector, the Palestinian guide and the visitor who lost her vision are some of the characters that take part in a chain of activities which add up to the museum. For about 18 months director Ran Tal collected footage of the daily routine of the museum that seeks to both reflect and mold the Israeli legacy and culture.
74 min.
English, Hebrew with English Subtitles
Tickets available online or at the box office.
About the Series:
This series is designed to allow us to use film as our window into the minds and culture of Israel. The 2nd Sunday of each month, a new Israeli film will be presented with a discussion to follow each film. The films have been selected to provide varying degrees and angles of perspective and insight. We invite you to come explore with us.

We’ll use the winning entries on our website and Facebook album, and you’ll win some fun prizes. Photos must be taken within the Chimney Rock section of the Park.

ABOUT US: Trauma Resource Group is an inclusive space for sharing mental health resources, coping strategies, recovery stories, and science about the mind-body-social connection. We welcome survivors of trauma as well as anyone who wants to support the survivors in their life by being better informed.
We recognize that trauma is a nearly universal fact of modern life and that all types of people need support in dealing with past experiences that still impact them today. Together we seek to understand the developmental and neurological patterns that evolved to protect us in crisis, so that we can encourage self-compassion and practice strategies for coping, calming, and healing.
ABOUT THIS EVENT: Discussions usually start with short presentation of information around a specific topic followed by an invitation to share your experience with that topic and answer questions as a group. The circle is a space where anyone can share without being shamed or judged. You are more than welcome to just sit and listen if you don’t want to speak. We meet in the back room of the bookstore. Please feel free to purchase tea or coffee at the front counter before you join us. This event is free. Donations to Trauma Resource Group are accepted, but not expected.
A word of caution: Please be sure you have a support system in place such as access to a professional therapist. These topics have triggers that may cause flashbacks or other intense emotional experiences. If the work becomes too stressful, please take care of yourself by taking a break and/or asking for support. This group does not provide medical or psychiatric advice, and it is not a substitute for professional help.
