"BUILDING A BETTER COMMUNITY ROUNDTABLE EVENT"
The Women of Mountain City (WMC) hosted its first roundtable event on Monday, June 14, at the Watauga Lake Winery. More than 70 guests showed up to hear discussions on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), childhood abuse and neglect, teen pregnancy, diversity, inclusion, outreach, and victim advocacy in Johnson County. Parties involved offered to partner with the community to help meet needs and figure out why the area is in its current shape.
“THEY AREN’T EQUIPPED WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN AN APPALACHIAN ENVIRONMENT. I HOPE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER. I HOPE THAT TODAY IS AN EYE-OPENING EXPERIENCE AND AN EXPERIENCE OF LOVE AND DEDICATION THAT WE HAVE TO SEE THE FUTURE OF JOHNSON COUNTY THRIVE AND COME OUT STRONGER TOGETHER. TO TAKE THE GAPS AND FILL THEM IN TOGETHER INSTEAD OF SEPARATE. WE NEED EACH OTHER.”

ETSU Equality and Inclusion Director Calvin Claggett expressed shock after touring the area, comparing the conditions to urban decay in his hometown. According to his analysis, the pool should “be condemned,” the picnic tables are rotten, the community center’s conditions are “troubling” and its foundation is “bad,” and the tennis courts have “not been resurfaced in years.”
