Today, Frances shared her powerful story of being placed in a Japanese/American incarceration camp as a young girl. In this clip, she reflects on her senior high school English teacher and the pivotal role she played in helping Frances gain admission to one of the most prestigious women’s colleges in the United States. Her story is one of resilience, mentorship, and the life-changing impact of someone who believes in you. Take a listen, and stay tuned for more inspiring stories from our incredible resident speakers.

Our residents enjoyed a delightful wine & chocolate pairing experience, led by one of our very own — John, former wine expert at the Biltmore Estate. With his rich knowledge and passion for the craft, John guided us through each pairing, sharing stories, tasting notes, and expert tips that made the hour both informative and incredibly fun. There’s nothing sweeter than learning (and sipping!) together. Cheers to great company and even greater flavors!

Months of dedication, rehearsals, laughter, and heart led us to this beautiful moment. Our Readers Theatre proudly brought Little Women to life, and what a journey it has been. Under the tireless direction of our incredible resident Maggie, this production became so much more than a performance — it became a labor of love. Sharing it with our community made every line learned and every practice worthwhile. The March sisters would be proud.

Smiles, laughter, and lots of Samoas and Thin Mints were shared. 🍪💚 What a sweet success for West Asheville Troop 10196 — we are so proud of these amazing girls (and Henry)!
