Subject: Thank you Amber
For changing the tone of the chatlist today.
You are right, there are amazing things happening in our community and you are right to point out the generosity found here.
Tami Schwerin and Lyle Estill have given so much to our community. I am always saddened when they are slammed here.
They both work very long hours, often with their kids at their side doing good public work. This work goes way beyond Piedmont Biofuels, The Abundance Foundation and the Plenty.
Chatham Soccer League, Chatham County Schools, Central Carolina Community College, Friends of the Library, Chatham Marketplace, Pittsboro Farmer’s Market, Family Violence and Rape Crisis and the Chatham Arts Council are organizations they have donated time and money to over the years. I know there are more.
There are few among us who give so much to our community and think they should be applauded rather than slammed here at every opportunity.
Thanks again Amber, let’s take this forum up a notch and share our good news. Tell us what you have been up to.
Laura Lauffer
