PARADE
Spend a moment in time in Bethlehem, on the day our Saviour was born. Come and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the city. Enter the city through the large gates guarded by the Roman Soldiers and observe the townspeople as they go about their everyday lives. See the skilled workers weaving, making leather goods, and sewing. Hear the Silversmith pounding on metal, the musicians playing, and the sounds of animals as the Shepherds tend to them. Smell the open campfires throughout the city as meals are cooked and the townspeople stay warm. Witness a couple being turned away from an Inn, but ending up in a stable surrounded by Angels celebrating the birth of our Saviour.
This FREE workshop will be held in the outdoor nursery. We invite you to drop in to drill and plug a mushroom log! Shiitake, Oyster, and Lion’s Mane varieties available to choose from. Our staff will be on site to assist. Logs will then be available to purchase for $22.99. Bring a friend, bring your kids! (and a power drill with 5/16 drill bit if you’ve got one).
Join us for a memorable evening filled with fun holiday activities and enjoy dinner with Santa Cow.

You are invited to an open house on December 1, 2018, from 1-3pm in the new NC-Pre-K Classrooms at YWCA Asheville’s YWCA Early Learning Program.
We hope you will join us as we enjoy speakers, music, refreshments, and children’s activities. Meet some of our amazing ELP teachers and learn more about the NC Pre-K program.
And best of all, there will be raffle prizes for up to fifty children!
We are celebrating the completion of our Early Learning Program expansion. Thanks to funding from Buncombe County, YWCA Asheville’s Early Learning Child Care Program renovated and expanded four classrooms this summer, giving us the capacity to serve an additional 42 children. Additionally, thanks to funding from the Community Foundation of WNC, we have also completed a much-needed kitchen renovation, allowing us to better serve healthy meals to our children, staff, and foster grandparents. The next phase of the expansion is now underway: renovating the playground to incorporate more natural elements, and commissioning a mural honoring Thelma Caldwell, Executive Director of YWCA of Asheville from 1965-1975.
If you or someone you know is in need of high-quality child care for their pre-school-age child, please refer them to us! If they register their child, you AND they will receive a $50 gift card! For more information or to register your child for Early Learning or NC Pre-K, call Denise Purcell, Director of Early Learning Program at 828-254-7206 x 106.
