What began as a welcoming gathering during the cold winter months has become something more. At “Stecoah Stories and Seeds,” local guests engage the group in stories of people, agriculture and traditions. Following the presentations, a free lunch is provided, offering time and space for Q&A and social connection.

Since these opportunities were so well received, the series was extended.

• June 10: Cree Rockwood of the Junaluska Museum on Cherokee language preservation efforts.
• June 24: Marshall McClung, contributor to The Graham Star, tells of the mystery tribe of Tuskegee.
• July 22: Brooklyn Lester McCracken, basketball coach for Robbinsville High School, on how the team brought out the best in each other and united to overcome obstacles.
