Cartoogechaye Baptist Drive-thru Live Nativity

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.

YWCA Early Learning Program Open House

*FIRST FIFTY KIDS TO ARRIVE RECEIVE A PRIZE*

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.

WNC Fly Fishing Expo 10th Anniversary

Nov 30th, 12:00pm-7:00pm

Dec 1st, 9:00am-4:00pm

Join us for the 10th WNC Fly Fishing Expo.

We are the largest gathering of fly fishing businesses, organizations and anglers in North Carolina. We have 50-70 vendors and 700-1,000 attendees annually. The event is designed to be a great resource for everyone from first time fly fishers to seasoned experts. You can learn to fly fish from certified instructors, try out tons of gear on the indoor casting pond and get great deals on gear from many fly shops, guide services and manufacturers. Between 50 and 70 $50 value door prizes will be given out by vendors and they all bring lots of great freebees.

Youngsters under 18 are free and $15 gets adults a ticket good for both days. BBQ lunch and dinner are always a hit and wine and beers of all kinds are offered by Casting Carolinas.

Both days are covered up with professional presenters in each of the 2 speakers tents, on the indoor casting pond and in many individual booths. Topics covered range from beginners lessons, casting instruction and “fixes” by certified instructors, technical advances in gear and technique and destination fly fishing trips of a lifetime. The amount and level of instruction available at the Expo is a huge value for the $15 ticket price. And it’s a damn good time.

Please invite and share with your friends and join us to celebrate everything fly fishing! See you there.

Limited vendor and advertising opportunities are available. Contact Alan Kirkpatrick, Director – at wncflyfishingexpo@gmail.com or c)828-712-7774
