  You are cordially invited to join us for a potluck dinner on Sunday evening, April 27, at Groce United Methodist Church. This event is inspired by the sense of community that many of us experienced in the aftermath of Helene. We gathered to share supplies and food and stories, and in the process sometimes came to know our neighbors better than we had previously. However, once our power and water came back online that feeling inevitably faded. 

  As we recovered from the storm many of us experienced the recovery hub at Groce UMC. They provided an invaluable resource and a great connection point. To keep that spark of community alive the Church has offered to host the first-ever Haw Creek Community Association potluck. 

  Every resident of Haw Creek is invited to join us for this free community dinner. Doors will open at 5:30 pm and dinner will begin at 6:00 pm. Please bring a dish to share; water and tea will be provided by HCCA. We will not be keeping track of who is bringing what food, but please RSVP with the number of people you will be bringing so we will have some idea of how many plates and cups we will need to provide.

  We look forward to this evening of sharing.

  Plan to attend this Firewise Community Program on Thursday, May 1, to learn about information and resources that will help you put a plan in place in the event a wildfire develops. 

  
  

  HCCA initiated this project in response to the increased wildfire risks in the Haw Creek valley post-Helene. We have collaborated with the City of Asheville, Asheville Fire Department and local experts to bring the first in a series of Haw Creek Prevention Awareness program, through the National Fire Protection Association.

  Speakers include:

  • Riva Duncan - Emergency Mangement Specialist, Firebrand Solutions
    
  • Jody Peterson - State Farm Agent
    
  • Alison Arnold - Master Gardener 
    
  • Asheville Fire Department - Representatives
    

  HCCA is also working towards a Firewise Community Certification, in which the City of Asheville will use Haw Creek's achievements as a model for other Asheville neighborhoods.

  HCCA prepared a Fire Prevention Presentation on key information resources that are available and safety measures that you can implement immediately to reduce your personal risks.

  We hope you'll join us for this important program. Registration is not required but it helps us plan for a successful event.

  The Haw Creek Community Association is hosting our second annual 5k race, the Haw Creek Hustle, on Saturday, May 17. Join us at Charlie Bullman Park for a celebratory fun run, a timed 5k race, and the post-race celebration. This event is intended to bring the community together, not just to hustle, but also to socialize with neighbors, meet new friends, enjoy some fresh air, and make lasting memories.

  HCCA is working with Glory Hound Events to ensure a fun and successful event. They are handling registration and all race information is available on their Haw Creek Hustle page.

  The race fees are $35 5K run and $10 Fun Run until April 30. Fee increases to $40 on May 1. Please register online.

  If you'd like to support this community event but don't feel like participating in the race, you can register and just not run the race or you can make a donation. All the event proceeds will go to HCCA and support our work in the community.

  All 5K runners will receive a custom race shirt. Fun runners will receive a fun prize at the finish line. Water and light snacks will be provided near the finish line. Please bring your own water bottle to fill to minimize environmental impact. 

  The awards ceremony for the 5K race will take place at approximately 10:15 am near the finish area. Special prizes will be presented to the top three overall male and female and top masters (40 and over) male and female. Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female finishers in various age groups, including 12 and under. Lots of awards mean lots of fun!

  Races like this can't happen without great volunteers. If you would like to be part of this event and be there for the runners and walkers, then please volunteer for any of the available spots.
