Much has happened in the past several months in the Bountiful Neighborhood. Most importantly is the involvement of the non-profit organization BnESCO which has taken over all aspects of the renovation, preservation and protection of the Birthplace. The Bountiful Neighborhood Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization BnESCO is a network of field thought-laboratories in rural communities that support idea generation, project development, funding security, strategy implementation, and benchmarking to compete with non-rural communities where resources are plentiful. In short, BnESCO supports ideas that lead to ideas. Other BnESCO supported projects in Tryon include: The Hannon Barbershop Project, The Tryon Doll Makers, the Tryon/Ghana Doll Exchange, the Mount King Community Garden, and the Young Entrepreneurs who meet at 6:00 pm each Thursday at Lilac Wine in downtown Tryon. Many thanks to Margaret M. Feagan for her support of the Birthplace and all she does as a BnESCO Principal. Please search for BnESCO online at www.bnesco.org
