GO LOCAL PROCEEDS HELP SCHOOLS

BY LIZ CAREY For every Go Local Card purchased, half of the $18 price goes directly to schools.

But what do schools do with the money?

As it turns out, just about everything.

Some schools, like Asheville Middle, use some of the money to help teachers, specialists and teacher’s assistants buy supplies, and the rest goes to help pay for the annual eighth-grade trip.

Others use their funds to purchase things that don’t quite fit the budget – like a new sign for Hall Fletcher Elementary School. And still others use their funds to support students – creating resources such as a field trip scholarship fund at Isaac Dickson Elementary.

The funds are an important part of the schools’ budgets. At Vance Elementary, the funds contributed to nearly every aspect of the school’s curriculum, says Kate Millar, treasurer of the Vance Parent Team.

“The funds that Vance Parent Team was able to raise through the Go Local card program made up nearly 12 percent of our fundraising profit for last school year!

We were able to increase our teachers’ supply stipends and appreciation events, increase our contribution toward our FEAST garden coordinator/educator teaching position, keep our low-cost after-school enrichment program running and fund a myriad of free 12

community events (with meals!) throughout the year,” Millar says.

Vance’s community events include “the traditional fun elementary school fare,” like field day, the fifth-grade trip and a holiday show, Millar says. Other special happenings supported by Go Local funding last school year included STEAM Week and STEAM Expo Noodle Night.

“We so appreciate the opportunity to participate in promoting and selling Go Local cards — the dividends to Vance kids are great,” Millar enthuses.

At Asheville High School, more than 20 mini-grants funded everything from lab supplies to bus passes for working students.

Some of the project funded last year included: • A mobile display system for student art projects.

• Paper supplies for journalism class and the student newspaper.

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2018 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

• Funding to supplement the cost of freshman planners for the Class of 2021.

• Music lessons for lower-income students.

• Supplies to create a vertical garden in early childhood education classes.

And at Claxton Elementary School, the funds are being used to help transform the former auditorium into a modern media center. Whether it’s the purchase of furniture, new bookcases or counter space for iPads and laptops, the funds are helping provide a comfortable learning environment for students, Amy Brown, a spokesperson for Claxton says.

Parents at the school love the program and what it does for their children, Amy adds. Since the beginning of the school year, parents have been asking about buying the cards for next year and are eagerly waiting for them to hit the office manager’s desk for purchase.

THE BUZZ BEHIND GO LOCAL

Team Go Local: Michele Bryan, Franzi Charen & Emma Hutchens

BY LIZ CAREY Instead of a chicken in every pot, Franzi Charen dreams of a day when there will be a Go Local card in the pocket of every local resident. Every independent, locally owned business will participate in the program, and the proceeds will provide even more support to the Asheville City Schools.

It’s an “audacious goal,” acknowledges Charen, who’s been the driving force behind the program since its launch in 2011.

The Asheville Grown Business Alliance produces the Go Local Card, which businesses use to offer discounts and freebies to

14

those who purchase the card.

This year, more than 400 locally owned businesses have signed up for the program, according to Charen, Asheville Grown’s executive director. Because businesses can join anytime — for free — by filling out an online form, she anticipates membership will top 500 businesses in 2018.

Half the card’s $18 price goes to the Asheville City Schools. The schools use those proceeds to fund various projects and activities. In 2017, the program provided $19,000 to city schools, and it has given more than $80,000 to schools over the life of the program.

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2018 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

As in previous years, Charen says, Asheville Grown commissioned a card design that expresses the spirit of the local community in a new and thoughtprovoking way.

Jenny Greer Fares of Sound Mind Creative created this year’s “Strong Economy Winged Lion-Gargoyle.”

Representing strength, prosperity and protection, figures of lions often stand guard in front of a house or sanctuary, Charen explains. “We liked the idea of a lion with one paw on City Hall, protecting Asheville’s heart, our local economy and our culture.”

And invoking the form of a gargoyle is a nod to Asheville’s

beloved neo-Gothic embellishments found on buildings throughout the city.

“Historically, gargoyles have often been depicted with the head of a lion. Our gargoyle wards off evil spirits in the form of extractive ownership in favor of a strong, generative economy,” Charen says. “In the creative process, Jenny paid close attention to the idea that lions also represent kings (king of the jungle) and how that ruling over another person or culture was not what we wanted to say. Gargoyles can also be terrifying and demonic, and we wanted to keep this creature strong and powerful, yet kid-friendly.”

The program is one Asheville Grown relishes.

“We love Asheville and believe that a vibrant local culture is key to preserving the unique character of our city,” Charen says. “Our organization’s role is to bring localization and the reorganization of work for the common good to the forefront of people’s imagination in our pursuit of a strong economy for all.”

Community support is key to the success of the local economy as a whole.

“Locally owned, independent businesses are better positioned to respond to the needs of our community, and our cultural organizations and nonprofits and are inherently tied to Asheville’s future,” Charen says. “Every dollar spent at a local business circulates three times more in the region than spending it at a chain. By thinking local first, you champion your community and the businesses that are the backbone of Asheville’s economy.”

As part of its work toward supporting businesses and the arts, Asheville Grown will also be hosting the Venture Local Fair in 2018.

From May through October, Asheville Grown will bring together local makers, craft producers

and food vendors in a monthly festival atmosphere. Those interested in participating in the fair can contact Emma Hutchens for more information at emma@ ashevillegrown.com.

Held on the fourth Saturday of every month, the festival will feature live music from local musicians at 68 Haywood St., the city-owned parcel across from the U.S. Cellular Center and the Basilica of St. Lawrence that’s been the subject of a long-running tug-of-war between open space advocates and city development schemes.

Charen says she hopes the monthly festivals will help transform the beleaguered space.

“We’ll be transporting the pit of despair into the pit of plenty,” she says.

Cards are available at Asheville city schools, as well as online at AshevilleGrown.com and at more than 20 local businesses. When purchasing the card, the buyer can specify which school should receive half the proceeds.

According to Asheville Grown’s Michele Bryan, some of the schools really go all out selling the cards — sometimes dressing from head to toe in red and black to sell cards during drop-off and pickup times.

“They sold the living heck out of that card,” Bryan says.

One challenge, she says, is educating parents and businesses about the card.

“I would say the biggest problem that we’ve had is awareness and understanding by local businesses about the card,” Bryan says. Because there are other marketing programs in the marketplace, it can be difficult for businesses to grasp that this is a community organization and that participation in the program is free. “They want to know what the catch is.”

There’s no catch, Bryan continues. “We try hard to make sure there are no barriers to entry; businesses join for free and have the freedom to create special offers that work for them.”

For purchasers, she says, “The card’s cost is more than covered by the hundreds of discounts holders have access to.”

Bryan hopes people will use the card frequently to maximize its benefits. “I think people buy the card to be supportive of their school, but then they don’t use the card as much as they could,” she says. “They can check out all the different offers online and in the directory and then put it to good use!”
