Echoes from the Community, Week 5

As the new year begins, echoes from across Transylvania County invite us to treat connection as something we build every day.

Echoes from the Community, SparkPoint's column of residents' stories.

Neighbors from Brevard, Rosman, Cedar Mountain, Pisgah Forest, Connestee Falls, Little River, and Schenck Job Corps have shared their stories. Some feel deeply connected; others feel isolated or unheard. Together they describe a community that values connection, and is still learning to practice it.

When was the last time you felt genuinely connected to someone, and why did it happen?
