Our limited edition t-shirt run sold out within just a few hours last time. We were blown away by your generosity and excitement! If you missed out, we’re psyched to announce we have the second, limited edition batch, in charcoal gray this time, ready for sale! Thanks to our amazing local friends at Image 420 Screenprinting, this is a second, special, limited edition t-shirt and sticker merch bundle that you can buy NOW! Click here. These awesome shirts, which come in unisex sizes S through 4X in a charcoal heather gray, plus the matching sticker, are available for a $50 bundle price which will include one of each. The full price of your purchase will benefit our campaign to keep the Orange Peel alive and well until it is safe for us to all be together enjoying shows again in person. There are only 100 of the charcoal gray bundle from local designer, Brent Baldwin. Every penny will bring us closer to hosting your favorite artist on our stage in the coming months when we can gather safely, and we will be SO thankful to all those who choose to demonstrate their support this way. We can’t wait to see you around town in your gear that helped save the music. If you’d prefer to make a direct donation, or if your preferred size sells out, please click here to make a direct monetary donation. Thank you all for your love and support. Don’t forget, another amazing way to help us, even if you don’t have the means to buy a shirt, is to contact our elected representatives and let them know that you want congress to save independent live music! You can do that here: saveourstages.com. Sending a letter (which takes 30 seconds and only requires your name and address) is a MAJOR contribution that we appreciate equally to those who can buy a shirt. Or even better, do both.

“As we continue to press into Hope, we continue to hear from supporters, and the message is loud and clear – they also feel the Hope connected to our mission, and want to keep supporting us.” Discovering new ways to sustain The Village Potters Clay Center during this season is the primary job now for the resident potters at TVPCC. As Sarah continues to apply for loans and grants, other potters are choosing hope each day by taking the torch from her to carry on the mission with a second “chapter” of Vessels of Hope.

The Village Potters are Sarah Wells Rolland, George Rolland, Judi Harwood, Lori Theriault, Julia Mann, Christine Henry, and Tori Motyl. They comprise an intentional Collective of potters who share a commitment to nurture creative exploration through education, experience, and community. The Village Potters includes a fine craft gallery, a Teaching Center offering ongoing classes in wheel and hand building for adults, an Advanced Ceramic Studies Program, and online demonstration and workshops. The Village Potters Clay Center is an educational member of The Craft Guild of the Southern Highlands, and is an official distributor for Laguna Clays.

September 5, 2020, during Open Streets Weekend, the Hendersonville Rotary Club will have a tent near WAG! to collect money for CART.

CART stands for “Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust”.  The CART Fund provides funds for cutting edge research to cure Alzheimer’s disease.  CART was started in 1996 with Rotarians in Sumter, SC, voluntarily emptying their pockets and purses of change at weekly meetings.  Since then, more than $9.2 million in grants have been awarded to 45 different research institutions around the United States.  Rotary is proud to continue its original mission of 100% of donated funds being designated to research grants.
