Subject: Bonnie Barrow

I am a client of Bonnie’s that wholeheartedly agrees with Mr. Sacca’s recommendation.  My only hesitation is a selfish one.  It’s like wanting to be the last person to move into a great neighborhood.  I want to keep her all to myself!

I am recovering from a riding accident that broke my back.  Bonnie addresses not only the aches and pains, but literally explains what soft tissue is being stressed, massages the pain away and often gives me exercises to do to help them heal until I see her again.

Subject: Chatham Health Dept survey- tick-borne diseases

Dear Chathamites concerned about ticks,

If you have had any trouble with ticks, even if you have not gotten sick, just pestered with bites (which is a risk of disease) please take a few minutes to fill out the survey below. Get all your family and friends to do it too. We have a lot of people sick from tick-borne infections here in this county.  We need to enhance public health prevention efforts and medical providers knowledge.  Thank you.  Tick-borne Infections Council of NC, Inc (www.tic-nc.org)
