A Note From Your Publisher

A note from your publisher after Hurricane Helene

By Melissa Pfaller October 5, 2024

Hello Friends & Neighbors,

    So much of our incredible area has been devastated by Helene.  From our lovely Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, west through Hendersonville and Brevard, there's been so much destruction.  And, our friends and family in Asheville are still watching water recede.  I would have reached out to you all sooner, if my own power, internet, and phone had been working.  At home, my family will be dealing with downed trees for months..

    The newsletter that all subscribers received last Monday had already been finished, submitted and scheduled to send out.  Otherwise, you wouldn't have received it because I wasn't able to log on.  But, now, we are back online and picking up the pieces.  I will try to remove events that are no longer happening.  But, please click the links in the events to check for yourselves as well.  I would feel horrible if you showed up and it had been cancelled.

    I will, also, try to find resources for you and your families during this hard time.  Are there any resources you would like to see?  How can I help you all?  If you have ideas or requests, please email me at melissap@macaronikid.com

    I am sending love and prayers to every one of you.  Our communities are strong.  We will pull through this.  That's the kind of people we are.  We keep moving forward.
