Subject: Kudos to Bynum Front Porch

Just wanted to give a hearty thanks to Bynum Front Porch for their Christmas tree sales.

The proceeds go to fund scholarships to assist 2 Chatham County kids with college.  One of them is designated for a first generation college attendee and the other for an arts major.  As a first generation college graduate, I can truly appreciate this gift.
Additionally, I just want all you all to know what wonderful trees they were.  I was able to deliver a bunch to friends and every single person commented not only on how nice they looked, but how green they were.  No one missed the hassles at the tree places either.  :-)  I hope this can be a yearly event.

Subject: Old Dam

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can tell me about a dam across Landrum Creek.  It is south of Jay Shambley Rd.  It is a very old dam with a hand stacked rock wall on a portion of it.  Does anyone know the history, when it was built, etc.?

Thank you,
Dwain Ritchie
