Volunteer opportunities with the Town of Pittsboro

Have an interest in Gardening?  The Town of Pittsboro would love to form or work with existing area Garden Clubs to help us enliven our public spaces including the Community House, Town Lake Park, the Town Hall and our Water Treatment Plant.  The Kiwanis Playground has recently benefited from a town – volunteer partnership to place flower beds and perennial plantings in the park.  We’d love to expand this success to other facilities as well.

Subject: Join us at two Habitat for Humanity home dedications

You are invited to join the celebration as two Chatham Habitat for Humanity partner families are presented with keys to their new homes during a ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 11:30 a.m. at 1816 and 1808 Westmont Drive in Siler City. Attending a dedication ceremony is a great way to see what Chatham Habitat is all about. It is very moving to witness low-income families=92 dreams of homeownership coming to fruition after they have worked so hard.

Subject: Re: Prayers for President Elect Obama

Regardless of the numbers quoted in Del Turner’s post, regardless of party affiliation and/or who you voted for, regardless of personal views of the current state of this nations economic status, I think it is customary for those of us who pray to offer prayers for the President and/or President Elect of the United States of America.

Just as there are no atheists in fox holes, I do not believe there are atheists in the oval office either.

Subject: Christmas

Christmas, Thanksgiving and other holidays, birthdays anniversaries etc. are especially hard for those who have lost a loved one or had them taken from you by murder, as my daughter was taken from her family.

It makes me sad to see some of the correspondence on the chatlist. There seems to be so much anger about things that are so insignificant. I’ve suggested this before and will again. that maybe you could use some of your time to volunteer for worthwhile causes or at least try to be kinder to your fellow man. I am so grateful that the last words that my daughter and I said to each other were ” I love you”

Subject: RE: Liquor by the drink

I fall into none of those categories and am against liquor by the drink in Chatham.  I believe that if this is passed then many chain restaurants would start opening in Pittsboro.  These chains, in my opinion, litter the landscape with light pollution, poor architecture, traffic lights ( I could go on and on)  and open the door for more rezoning and development overall.  My point is that while it would be nice to simplify those who oppose liquor by the drink as anti alcohol or bootleggers, there are many other reasons why people oppose this.
