Weekly Bar Briefs - March 10, 2026

Dear Buncombe Bar Members,

Tomorrow is our Bar luncheon at 12:30 at the YMI Cultural Center. Our presenter this month is Heather Parlier, Senior Vice-President of Operations at Dogwood Health Trust. Here is a link to Heather’s full bio. Dogwood Health Trust has been a hero in our community to many area non-profits, especially after the disastrous Hurricane Helene. We look forward to having her share the many accomplishments and goals for this organization. It is beyond the point to order a lunch, but feel free to join us for good fellowship and a beverage while enjoying the presentation.
