The WNCOS had another wonderful year in 2018, and we’re counting on yet another action packed and exciting new-year here in greater Asheville. A wonderful, year ending celebration was enjoyed by everyone in attendance recently at our annual holiday social. Thank you so much to our gracious hosts, Axel and Catherine. We had a tremendous turnout and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in their beautiful home, a perfect ending to an exciting year. The food spread was strong, and that growler of homebrew was divine! I hope I wasn’t the only one who found that on the bar.

I am ready for the fall season, and I hope you all are too. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the country, hopefully we will still have a gorgeous fall leaf season.

Read MoreGreetings everyone, I hope you're all doing well and trying your best to stay afloat. What a wet and cool summer it has been so far, maybe August has something drier in store for us.
Read MoreSummer is in full swing, and I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July holiday! I celebrated in strong fashion with my family and had an excellent day, always one of my most favorite days of the year.
Read MoreWell gang, it's finally June and although we've all been feeling soggy, the sun is out today and summer is about here. Schools are about to release all the kids for the year, folks are starting to travel and our orchids are all sucking up all this heat and humidity.
