Subject: 150 students spending spring break in Chatham!
Just wanted to thank the 150 students from all over the country who have chosen Chatham County as their spring break destination! We are grateful that instead of soaking up the sun on a warm beach, you are slogging through snow and mud to help build homes in partnership with our county’s low-income families through Chatham Habitat for Humanity. We hope that instead of sunburn, you’ll go home with the amazing feeling that comes from making a difference in the lives of others. You are truly an inspiration!

Again, many thanks!
