Aug 12 - Dec 20    Unearthing Our Forgotten Past: Fort San Juan - Now through December

Through December 2019:  Mountain Heritage Center gallery at Hunter Library 161, M – F 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Free of Charge

NOTE: To receive a DegreePlus point, you must complete the questionnaire at the Mountain Heritage Center.

On loan from Exploring Joara Foundation, the exhibit is the first formal museum exhibit showcasing Fort San Juan and Joara, a large Native American town in the late 16th century. It was developed as part of the celebration of the 450th Anniversary of the Juan Pardo Expeditions, during the 1560s, and tells the story of Spanish exploration and the founding of a fort in what is present-day Burke County.

Archaeologists identified the site near Morganton as the location of Joara, one of the largest Native American towns in what is today western North Carolina. The town was occupied from approximately A.D. 1400 to A.D. 1600. Hernando de Soto and Juan Pardo, Spanish explorers, visited the town in the 1560’s. In 2013, archaeologists confirmed that the town was also the site of Fort San Juan, established by Juan Pardo in 1567, nearly 20 years before the English settlement at Roanoke on the coast of North Carolina and 40 years before the English settlement at Jamestown in Virginia. The discovery of the fort, the earliest European settlement in the interior of what is now the United States, has changed history books.

Oct 17 - Nov 3    The Sleepy Hollow Experience
Lose your head at Cherokee’s newest and most thrilling Halloween attraction, The Sleepy Hollow Experience. Nationally renowned Theatre Producer Brian Clowdus invades Unto These Hills this October in an immersive theatrical nightmare that has taken the country by storm. Enter into the world of the classic Washington Irving tale with a fresh and horrifying new spin as the audience becomes part of the action. But be aware of what’s in front of you… and behind you… The Headless Horseman is waiting…

The Sleepy Hollow Experience first came to life in Atlanta, Georgia in 2013. It has been a Halloween favorite in Georgia for the past six years and visionary director Brian Clowdus has now taken the show across the country to different states – in 2019, Sleepy Hollow will run at Serenbe Playhouse, Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, Sugarloaf Mountain Outdoor Amphitheatre (the home of Tecumseh!) in Ohio, and at Mountainside Theatre, the home of Unto These Hills right here in Cherokee, North Carolina!

Director and producer of Sleepy Hollow Brian Clowdus says, “My family has been going to Cherokee and Unto These Hills for ages and it’s always been a dream of mine to bring what I do to this incredible city and performance venue. This will be my fourth Sleepy Hollow Experience running in the nation, but I have a feeling it’s going to be the most epic yet as we turn the Cherokee Mountainside Theatre into an immersive 360 theatrical event where at any moment the horseman might be right behind you. This production will have drama, broadway caliber production value and pay homage to the native culture of the land. It is truly going to be the not to miss Halloween event of the year! We project a complete sold out limited run, so hurry while tickets still remain!”

Green Lights and Graduate School:  a Two-Part Talk

Brian Bennett, East TN State University

Phil Pfeiffer, East TN State University

In Spring 2018, students in ETSU's M.S. program, as part of a TN Dept. of Transportation-supported grant, began work on an Android application for advising drivers on how to get through signaled intersections on green.  The various challenges involved in providing  timely and sound advice on (legal) driving speeds, relative to multiple, disparate, and potentially unreliable data sources, will be covered in the first half of this talk.  The balance will then focus on concerns related to pursuing graduate education in computing:  i.e., opportunities for employment with a graduate degree, choice of program, strategies for completing a degree, and financial considerations.  It will include a short overview of ETSU's graduate program, including opportunities for GA support.

The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Nov 28    Rotary Club of Sylva- Turkey Trot 5K
The Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning is one of the Sylva Rotary Club's signature fundraisers, along with a fall Car Show and a spring Pancake Breakfast.

Register here: http://www.sylvarotaryclub.org/turkey-trot-5k.php

This challenging one loop, 5K course is on the campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. The route begins right in the middle of campus at the WCU “fountain” and also ends at the “fountain”. It encircles the campus and is a very enjoyable race through the beautiful campus of WCU. The race has become a favorite as it is a fun way to burn off some of the turkey and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving morning.

Every year the Sylva Rotary Club raises money through race entry fees and sponsorships so we can help organizations better their programs by providing financial assistance for their needs. Last year the Club raised over $16,000 to fund many non-profit entities throughout Jackson County, North Carolina, the country and the world.

We are asking each of you to help us in our fundraising efforts. Your help in supporting the Sylva Rotary Club will help us meet needs in our community that will help make Jackson County, and the world, a better place.
