Almost Heaven Bed & Breakfast Open House & Ribbon Cutting

Join us in celebrating the Open House & Ribbon Cutting for Almost Heaven Bed & Breakfast.

Almost Heaven Bed & Breakfast is a historic house that sits high on a hill overlooking our beautiful town, stores, and restaurants. Not quite ready for full retirement Patti and Rob decided to buy this old historic home and begin renovations to turn it into what is now Almost Heaven Bed & Breakfast. Join us on May 24th from 1pm – 7pm for an Open House and tour of this one of a kind Bed and Breakfast. Ribbon cutting will be at 1pm.

It’s Our Birthday Party! #10

In honor of our co-op’s tenth birthday, join us for free cold brew coffee, gift bags for kiddos, and homemade popsicles! Oh, and did we mention a vegan cake? We’ll be serving dessert to top it all off.

Over the last ten years, Firestorm has seen a lot of change. Asheville has changed, our space has relocated, our business model has evolved, members of our collective have gone on to new projects and new cities… but what hasn’t changed is our belief in social transformation and our commitment to modeling liberatory values within our own work. That’s what makes Firestorm special: a unity of ends and means, prefiguring a better world built on co-operation and solidarity.

We hope that you’ll join us on Saturday to celebrate ten years of struggle, ten years of growth, and ten years of fun!

WANNA GIVE US A BIRTHDAY PRESENT?!

If Firestorm is important to you, or if you believe that the Southeast needs grassroots institutions that are radically democratic and committed to a vision of liberation for all people, please visit the following link and join our Community Sustainers Program. For just $7.50/mo, you’ll be supporting the next ten years of changemaking, whatever changes may come. ♥

FREE Pre-Participation Physical Exams (Sports Physicals)
