Thanks to all the supporters, volunteers and participants in our special February events. And thanks to Piedmont Health Services and the Moncure and Siler City Community Clinics for their sponsorship. Hats off, too, to the Council on Aging staff for their creativity, positive energy and commitment in providing the We Love Seniors Month special events.

More than 125 people visited the 13th Annual Healthy Heart Day event in Siler City!

Subject: Pecan processing

Here’s what I learned about places that process in-shell pecans:

http://www.ncpecans.org/sources.htm

Some pecan processers don’t answer email.  It is their busy season.

You possibly shouldn’t make any processing decisions based on  who does or does not list shelling on that site; apparently, the Goldsboro processers DO shell for the public at a rate of 35/50/85 cents per pound in-shell nuts, cracked, blown and cleaned, respectively.  Other processers appear to be in the same range; some give a price break at the 500# level.

Subject: Chatlist membership goes over 2,700

I did some clean-up of the membership list this weekend by removing dead email addresses that bounced.

After pruning the list I am happy to announce that our Chatlist membership has gone over 2,700 members.

Thanks so much to all of you who help make this chatlist an important and valuable communications tool in our community.

I know that the knowledge and information you all share here is appreciated by many.

Subject: Volunteer Org Directory

Hello Chatham County,

Help us to build a comprehensive listing of volunteer organizations within our area.  If you’d like your group to be listed, please go to http://chathamcountyvolunteerlist.googlepages.com/home – click “Submit” to enter your data.

Take a look at the directory page for examples if you’d like.  The list is rather short; we know that there are plenty of orgs out there that need assistance, and that there are plenty of people who would love to give their time to a cause that fits them.

Subject: Protect the haw from weedwhackers

Please don’t throw your weed whacker in the haw. It could hurt the water that we drink and would mess up my kayaking experiences.

Pam, PBO chevrolet told me (after considerable asking) that their Prius’ were 22,000. Sounds like the toyota place has a good deal. Hope you get one. They sure are quiet.

I bought a suzuki at PBO ford. It is a good car but I had to go through the same bunk there as well. I just liked the car so much and didn’t want to look anymore (I hate shopping).

Good luck with your search. Stick with the ones who are honest from the beginning.
