Subject: Video of November’s Woods Charter School Board Meeting

As many of you know, I am constantly looking for ways to improve communications and getting more information out to the public.

I know that many school age parents can not make it to school board meetings. But they certainly would like to know what goes on at these meetings.

Chatham County school system does a good job publishing extensive minutes of it’s school board meetings. You can find them on the school system’s web site.

what is “Escape Day”

on January 17th, 2010

This is something new that I’m bringing to Chatham Socials group. The idea came to me after my own personal experiences along with a few emails I have received in the past that some of you prefer not to surround yourself in an atmosphere that revolves around food or the problems that just take us down during the week. Maybe your concern about your health and how you look.

McIntyre’s Author Event: Janice Y.K. Lee
Janice Y.K. Lee visits to read from The Piano Teacher. In the sweeping
tradition of The English Patient, Janice Y.K. Lee’s debut novel is a
tale of love and betrayal set in war-torn Hong Kong. In 1942, Englishman
Will Truesdale falls headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy
Liang, a beautiful Eurasian socialite. But their affair is soon
threatened by the invasion of the Japanese as World War II overwhelms
their part of the world. Ten years later, Claire Pendleton comes to Hong
Kong to work as a piano teacher and also begins a fateful affair. As the
threads of this spellbinding novel intertwine, impossible choices
emerge-between love and safety, courage and survival, the present, and
above all, the past. Janice Y. K. Lee was born and raised in Hong Kong
and graduated from Harvard College.

Subject: Thanks for info on Bear Services

However, thanks to all who recommended other repair services and especially to Kira for recommending Stacey’s Mower Repair which is the most convenient for me.  He has repaired a couple engines for me so far and I would highly recommend him:
