Subject: Chatham County budget concerns

The leadership of several grassroots organizations in Chatham County met last evening to discuss details of the proposed budget. One issue of importance needs our immediate action!

Subject: Re: Shout out: Antonella

I second Lesley’s praise of Antonella’s Salon.  Everyone there is so
easygoing, friendly, and understanding.  Once when I forgot my purse for an
appointment, they let me pay for my cut the next day.  I receive a ton of
compliments on the hairstyle created and maintained for me by Amanda.  : D
