THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTO that graces the cover of our Greening Up the Mountains special section is a view from the Pinnacle taken by our own Nick Breedlove, who also designed the cover. Check that section, which is inserted in this week’s newspaper, for complete festival information, including a booth layout and music schedule.

BEGINNING MAY 1, school lunches will be manager’s choice for the remainder of the school year. This decision was made to allow each school to use up food that is on hand, said Donna Bommer, child nutrition director. Since all menus will be the same, The Sylva Herald will discontinue the weekly menus until school resumes next August. For more information, call Bommer at 586-2311.
“MISSION BELLES,” former students of the Memorial Mission Hospital Schools of Nursing, as well as students from affiliating schools, are invited to a dedication honoring them and the school on Saturday, May 7, at 1 p.m. The Class of 1955 will be the honored guests as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. The event will be at the Latta Building parking lot on the Memorial campus of Mission Hospitals in Asheville. From 1893 until 1971, what is now Mission Hospitals operated a hospital-based nursing school that eventually became the Memorial Mission Hospital School of Nursing. This program ceased operation in 1971 as nursing programs migrated to universities. Reservations for those wishing to attend are requested. For more information, call Joan Sanford at (828) 213-1024.
IN LAST WEEK’S PAPER, a note about Zion Hill Baptist Church inadvertently described a Pumpkintown community litter pickup as a Zion Hill church effort. The Herald regrets the error. |
