As many of you know Chief Brett Holloman has been a vital part of the Woodfin Community for decades. From a young recruit shot in the line of duty to developing the Woodfin Police Department into one of the finest law enforcement agencies anywhere the people of Woodfin have been able to rely on the Chief.
Right now Brett is facing some medical issues and we’re asking anyone who can to contribute to his care by attending a fundraiser being hosted by 911 Burgers and More this Thursday. The folks at 911 Burgers have generously stepped up to help out the Chief and we encourage anyone and everyone to come out and have a great burger and help a great cause.
911 Burgers and More has great burgers, hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, veggie burgers and their famous french fries. If you haven’t been to 911 Burgers and More you’ve missed out on some classic American comfort food served by wonderful people in an immaculate restaurtant. If you have been there before, you already know what you’re missing. So please come out and join us this Thursday for lunch or dinner.

The Bob Moog Foundation will be sparking the imagination of children in Asheville this summer by providing four summer camps at the Asheville Museum of Science (AMOS). Both Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool Camps, exploring “Science of Sound” and “Science of Synthesis”, will represent a convergence of science, music, technology, and FUN! The week long sessions will be an expansion of the principles taught through the Foundation’s lauded educational curriculum, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which inspires over 1,500 children every year in the Asheville area.
Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool Camp – Exploring the Science of Sound (Ages 7-10):
Join us as we explore the basic physics of sound through a fun, engaging, and experiential journey. Campers will learn the fundamental concepts of how sound is made, how it travels, and how it is heard. We will delve into the cool concepts of vibrations, waveforms, pitch, amplitude, frequency, and more all using musical instruments, including one of the earliest electronic musical instruments, the theremin (which you play without touching it!). We’ll also be using oscilloscopes and other tools to bring these concepts alive.
The camp will be taught by Brooks Butler, local musician, exceptional music teacher from Claxton Elementary, and a member of the team that created the original Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool curriculum.
The “Exploring the Science of Sound” camps will be offered the weeks of August 7th and August 14th.
Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool Camp – Exploring the Science of Synthesis (Ages 11-13):
Campers will explore how synthesizers work, and how they enable us to sculpt sound! In this one-of- a-kind camp, we will explore the fundamentals of synthesis including day-long explorations of the oscillator, filter, envelope, amplifier, and more. We’ll be using small synthesizer modules created by our friends at Little Bits, and we’ll work our way up to exploring the principles through theremins, synthesizers, cymatics and more.
This fun, experiential camp will be lead by August Worley, former engineer at Moog Music, Inc., and instructor in the electrical engineering department at A-B Tech. August is also a long-time volunteer and technical advisor at the Bob Moog Foundation and has assisted with numerous educational events where he always brings fun to the subject of synthesis.
The “Exploring the Science of Synthesis” camps is being offered on the weeks of July 10th and July 17th.
We’re pumped that Palehound will be here with Outer Spaces and Waxahatchee. It’s an ALL AGES show and tickets are on the move!

Understanding how to raise our kids in a sexually healthy way starts at birth! The language we use, the physical touch and space we promote or discourage, understanding how our children grow physically and mentally is all a part of them developing a positive attitude toward their body and a respect for themselves and others.
Kelley Johnson, Ph. D. is teaching an awesome class this summer – Raising a Sex-Positive Child in a Sex-Negative Nation. This class will help parents understand all that sexuality includes (from body image to reproduction to boundary setting to honoring “no”), think about the values you want to share with your children, and learn concrete ways to promote healthy sexual development.
The class will be offered five times this summer …
