Washington School, 103 Franklin Ave, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USA Register: https://bit.ly/3yf7Iuo “Conversations that Matter” is a monthly online series from the McKinney Center. In each “Conversation” two local guests will explore their own culture and perspective, and talk to each other about what makes them unique, discover their similarities, and explore their differences. They will look at where their lives might intersect personally and in the community. The goal of each “Conversation that Matters” is for guests and participants to hear real stories, from real neighbors. The next event in this series will feature Nancy Kavanaugh and Ashley Cavender. This conversation will be moderated by McKinney Center Advisory Board Members and volunteers, Michelle Treece and Katelyn Yarbrough. It will take place via Zoom on October 14, at 7pm. Nancy Kavanaugh is a well-known resident of Jonesborough, TN, taking an active role in many community organizations. Storytelling brought Nancy to Jonesborough more than two decades ago, after she spent a career as an executive for General Motors Assembly Division and Lockheed Martin Corporation. Bringing her organizational skills to Jonesborough, she served as the Executive Director of the National Storytelling Network from 2000-2005. Today, she volunteers with many different groups including Barter Theatre, Friends of the Library, Heritage Alliance, and the McKinney Center. In 2018, Nancy organized the “Wild Women of Jonesborough,” a non-profit that has raised more than $23,000 to support unmet needs in the Jonesborough Community. Ashley is an ETSU Alumni and has been in the area for several years. She is passionate about community organizing, local food, and sustainability; she served through AmeriCorps with Jonesborough Locally Grown and is most recently working with One Acre Cafe feeding food with dignity to the community regardless of their means. You will most likely find her at the Nolichuckey river with her Jack Russell, Banjo in the summer months, and hiking across East TN in the fall and winter. When she is not volunteering in the community she is traveling abroad and never missing the opportunity to learn a new skill or travel to a new country. This monthly series is inspired by the Diversity & Equity Subcommittee at the McKinney Center, and their desire to highlight the experiences of all voices in Washington County, Tennessee, with an intention to include marginalized groups. By showcasing these conversations, the Diversity & Equity subcommittee hopes to open doors to new ideas and perspectives amongst our very own neighbors. Questions such as, “What was your experience in grade school and how did that make you feel?” or, “Have you experienced exclusion or racism?” For many of us, the answers are different and unique. The McKinney Center believes it is time to talk about our experiences and share them. There is value in uplifting these stories so that we may learn from one another. Then, after hearing from one another our moderators and guest conversationalists will give insight on how to move forward.

Real stories, real people. This one-hour storytelling program is filled with true-life adventures of people past and present from Jonesborough, Tennessee, and the surrounding Southern Appalachian Region. Each program presents stories built around a common theme. All of these stories, which are collected from the hills and hollers, and sometimes up in the mountains of East Tennessee, are scripted into a show that explores the culture, heritage and history of these diverse voices. Home to the town of the first Abolitionist Newspaper in the Country. Home to the state that made Women’s Suffrage a reality. Home to Warner Institute, training Freedmen and Women as teachers beginning less than a decade after the end of the Civil War. Surprising, heartwarming and often hilarious stories of the independent East Tennessee people come to life with a voice and accent that can be found nowhere else.

The Jonesborough StoryTown is a community building group and open to anyone who would like to participate. Everyone is welcome, from all ages and backgrounds, regardless of experience. If you live here, you belong! If you have a story to tell, this is the place! For more information contact Jules Corriere at [email protected] or 423.794.6320.

It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos – the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar – are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

Employee of the Month: Susan Katko

Susan Katko, joined the senior center staff in 2018, to launch our My Ride TN Jonesborough program. After three years, the program is a huge success and has provided 2,800 rides since starting in December of 2018. The program has provided 33,000 miles of transportation and has served 95 seniors, with that number growing weekly. Susan, is a huge part of the program success. Her true passion for serving others is evident in the way she treats everyone she works with. With each new rider she sees as opportunity not only to help them with transportation, but to connect with them and offer them a kind ear, a thoughtful card and someone who genuinely cares. Susan sends each of the riders a birthday card and checks on them regularly through phone calls and notes in the mail. Susan not only stays in contact with the homebound seniors, who use MyRide; she also does the same thing for MyRide drivers.
