Our club provided a nice Chick Fil A lunch to the women and children at Steadfast House on Dec. 5th. They were very appreciative!
The moms with children are in the process of creating wish lists on Amazon for Christmas gifts. We will get these ordered next week so they can be delivered by Christmas and the moms can get them wrapped.

Our speaker was Jim Blanton, Executive Director of the Asheville and Buncombe County Public Library System. He told us about the wide variety of programs and services available at the library and the new ways his staff has adapted to serving patrons as a result of Covid. In addition to Pack Library, there are 11 branches, with a new one being built in East Asheville. All branches except Pack reopened in October with a 50% capacity. All borrowed materials are quarantined for 4 days. They offer many online resources for children and teens, as well as ebooks, online book clubs and exercise classes for adults. Patrons are also able to get free tickets to places such at The Asheville Science Museum and Arboretum. You will want to bookmark their website for many great resources. If you don't have a library card, visit your local branch, or you can email them and they will do it online for you.
