From Buncombe County Libraries:
Do you love to read? Do you like children? The Buncombe County Public Library’s Preschool Outreach Project (POP) is currently looking for volunteers. POP is an outreach service of the library, a program designed to bring the joy and excitement of books to children in child care centers. Our volunteers offer stories, songs, puppets and smiles to our youngest book lovers – children under the age of 5.
No formal experience is needed, just a strong commitment to both children and reading. Most volunteers spend approximately five hours per month on POP, reading twice a month at their assigned center. We ask that volunteers commit to participate with our program for one full school year. All story time materials are provided by the library.
All POP volunteers must participate in story time training and submit to a background check. The next training is Monday, Aug. 26.
Interested volunteers must complete a volunteer application before Aug. 19. Applications can be filled out here.
Outback Give Back – Donate, Mate!
There’s never been a better time to stop by your local Outback Steakhouse! And The Blood Connection is giving you an easy way to eat for FREE.
For the entire month of August, TBC and Outback Steakhouse are working together to spread the word about blood donation. Partnerships like this are essential to the community’s blood supply. Outback Steakhouse’s enthusiasm to partner with TBC has helped the blood center reach new donors and save more lives!
The Outback Give Back Promotion runs August 1st – August 29th. Donors who give blood at any TBC center on any Thursday will receive a $20 Outback gift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion ® coupon. To find a center near you, click here.
On August 29th, 18 Outback Steakhouse locations will host a blood mobile for a collective blood drive at the same time, 2-7 P.M. Blood donors will receive a $20 Outback gift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion® coupon. After donating, they can walk right in and enjoy a free dinner at Outback, a thank you for saving lives!
Donors can visit any TBC center in the Upstate of South Carolina, and Raleigh and Asheville in North Carolina: 435 Woodruff Road, Greenville, SC; 341 Old Abbeville Highway, Greenwood, SC; 5116 Calhoun Memorial Hwy, Easley, SC; 1308 Sandifer Boulevard, Seneca, SC; 270 North Grove Medical Park Drive, Spartanburg, SC; 225 Airport Road, Arden, NC; 5925 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC.

There’s more than Chunky Monkey and New York Super Fudge Chunk in downtown Asheville’s Ben & Jerry’s this summer.
Art created by Vance Elementary School fifth grade students of art educator Robbie Lipe is now on display on the brick walls opposite the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The exhibit depicts the students’ interpretation of the artist Kehinde Wiley and the contemporary portraits he creates inspired by traditional Baroque paintings. It will be featured through the end of the summer.
“Ben & Jerry’s is excited about showcasing art from the community inside our scoop shop,” said general manager Chris Carter. “Making use of our walls to show what local artists are creating complements our social mission — to be actively involved in the places we live and do business. I hope this is the first of many art exhibits on our walls.”
Carter gave all the credit for the exhibit to Ms. Lipe, who teaches kindergarten through 5th-grade students at Vance Elementary. She was named the North Carolina Arts Educators Association “Art Educator of the Year” in 2017-2018.
Ben & Jerry’s is located at 19 Haywood Street. Current hours are Monday-Thursday 12 pm to 10 pm; Friday 12 pm – 11 pm; Saturday 11:30 am – 11 pm; Sunday 11:30 am – 10 pm.

Adult Literacy tutoring
Downtown After 5 /// August 16, 2019 Volunteers Needed
Moog Filtered Ale Returns for Moogmentum Grand Opening Celebration
Read Aloud to Children- Spread the Joy!
The Blood Connection and Outback Steakhouse Join Forces to Save Lives BLOOD DRIVE
Youth Literacy Tutors Needed
Vance Elementary School and Ben & Jerry’s Art Showcase
Interested in a short-term tutoring commitment?
While the majority of Adult Literacy students require a year-long commitment in order to gain basic literacy skills, we are seeing an increase in students who have their eyes on a more short-term goal: earning their HSE (High School Equivalency). The most well-known of these certifications is the GED, and most Adult Literacy students currently on the waiting list are looking for 1-on-1 tutoring to prepare for one of the four subject tests – Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Social Studies, or Science. If you have a background in any of these subjects, and you are looking for a more short-term tutoring commitment, HSE tutoring may fit your schedule. It typically takes 4-6 months of tutoring to prepare an Adult Literacy student for a single subject test.
We’d love to have you!
Hello!
Greetings Volunteers,
We are gearing up for our August 16th Downtown After 5 with The Artisanals, The National Reserve and Emma’s Lounge. We are still in need of volunteers for our set up shift and 2nd shifts (remember 2nd shifts get 2 credits, and to receive VIP access to our end of year party a late shift is required). Please share our sign up page and help us spread the word with local friends and businesses.
We are winding down our Downtown After 5 series and we are so appreciative of everyone’s support and time to help us make these events successful.
See you next Friday,
Jessica and Meghan

The Literacy Council seeks caring individuals who are passionate about closing the achievement gap in our schools and communities through educational equity. You do not need any prior experience to become a tutor in our Youth Literacy program.
The Youth Literacy program provides free, one-on-one tutoring to children who live in low-income homes and read, write, and/or spell below grade level. The need for remedial K-12 literacy tutoring is so overwhelming in Buncombe County that we’ve only been able to serve a fraction of students who require this level of support.
Ensuring equity in education is truly a social justice issue. In addition to the shocking national and local literacy statistics, one of our greatest concerns is the growing disparity in achievement in local schools. We are committed to training as many new tutors as possible this fall so they can each keep a child from becoming one of these statistics.
Please join us! If you’d like to change a child’s life in the new school year, contact Rebecca to enroll in the Youth Literacy training this September. Check out our training dates here.
