06/09/16 PLAY AT BEBE THEATER
“The Mountaintop” by Katori Hall is about Martin Luther King, Jr. Since its 2009 London premiere, the show has captivated audiences across the United States. And it’s not because of King the legend. Or King the martyr. No — here we see an imperfect man, chain-smoking, flirting with a woman who isn’t his wife, trying to talk his way out of God’s plans. We bear witness to his soul, in all its messy humanity. We laugh at his humor and shake our heads at his eloquence. We empathize with his ego and his self-doubt. Proceeds from latest show by Different Strokes supports Building Bridges. We encourage you to go see The Mountaintop by Katori Hall as performed by the Different Strokes! Performing Arts Collective in the next two weeks. Performances are on Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights at 7:30 PM at the BeBe Theater until 06/18/16.

06/10/16 AUTHOR EVENT AT FIRESTORM
“Locked Down, Locked Out: Why Prison Doesn’t Work and How We Can Do Better” looks at how prison tears families and communities apart, creating a rippling effect that touches every corner of our society. Through the stories of prisoners and their families, as well as her own family’s experience of her sister’s incarceration, Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans—and decimates poor communities of color—is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. The destruction does not end upon exiting the prison walls: the 95 percent of prisoners who are released emerge with even fewer economic opportunities and fewer human connections on the outside than before. Locked Down, Locked Out shows how incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. Time is 7 PM and location is Firestorm Cafe & Books at 610 Haywood Street in west Asheville. Contact Firestorm at info@firestorm.coop for more information.

06/15/16 RACISM AND GENTRIFICATION DISCUSSION SERIES 
This series focuses on the role racism plays in gentrification and displacement. We will explore how racism operates at various levels (interpersonal, community, institutional) and at its intersections (with class, ethnicity, etc) to create the situation we are seeing today in our local context. This month, we will focus on what is going on right now in Asheville specifically (planned developments and evictions, demographic shifts, etc) and consider some relevant history of racialized displacement. We hope folks who attended the first session will continue to participate, but newcomers are welcome and encouraged. This series grew out of a Stand Against Racism last month, and is geared toward education and relationship-building to strengthen our understanding of these issues and our ability to talk about them within and amongst communities; we will not "solve" gentrification or displacement by the end of the summer, but we hope that addressing these questions together over the next few months will make action more likely, and more effective, in the future.

Presented by the NC Arboretum and Asheville & Hendersonville affiliates of Bee City USA. Time is 5:30 to 8: 30 PM. Landscape designer, photographer, and acclaimed author of “Pollinators of Native Plants”, Heather Holm, will give two presentations about creating pollinator-friendly gardens with using native flowers, shrubs, and trees. First one is at 6 PM and is titled “Gardening for Bees, Butterflies & Beneficial Insects “ (Presentation 1). Most insects have a positive impact in our landscapes. Native plants can be selected to attract specific bees, butterflies and beneficial insects including predatory and parasitic wasps, beetles, flies, true bugs, and lacewings. Learn how these flower-visiting insects provide vital pollination services and also help keep problem insect populations in balance. The life cycles, diversity, and nesting habitats of various insect species will be covered along with examples of native plants for different site conditions. At 7:30 PM the second presentation will be “Selecting Native Trees and Shrubs that Support Pollinators” (Presentation 2). While most trees are wind-pollinated, the ones that are insect-pollinated provide important forage for pollinators, especially in early spring. Learn about which canopy trees, small trees, and shrubs are insect-pollinated and the types of pollinators each plant attracts. Factors influencing pollinator visitation including flower structure, flower resources, flowering phenology, and the plant community where the woody plant occurs will also be discussed. Location is the North Carolina Arboretum, 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way in Asheville. This is for all ages. There is free tickets and free parking, if preregistered. $5 suggested donation at the door. Preregister for free tickets for Presentation 1 and Presentation 2.
