INTRODUCTIONS:
Please feel free to “introduce” yourself to the group. You will find that folks in our group will appreciate hearing a little bit about you – your job, interests, and impressions about what’s going on in Chatham county. We have an array of folks in this group, so you’re never sure what will come up.
HOW THE CHATLIST WORKS:
Our listserver program compiles all emails sent from Chatlist members to .
Do NOT post your notice at chathamchatlist.com. You MUST send your post to the Chatlist email address.
IMPORTANT! If you fail to read these guidelines or choose to ignore them your post(s) will not make the daily digest and you will simply get a email response that will tell you to read these guidelines.
A digest is sent out to Chatlist members up to six times each week; Monday through Saturday. This format and timeline were established based upon feedback from members of the Chatham Online e-mail list. You should receive your first digest e-mail within 24 to 72 hours of signing up for the Chatlist.
As a Chatham Chatlist Discussion Group member you can submit emails to this group. When we receive your email the program will send you an automatic acknowledgment that we received your email and it will be posted in a timely fashion.
If you’re responding to a previous digest please do NOT re-quote the ENTIRE Chatlist. Re-quote only the portion(s) you are referencing. This helps keep the digests at reasonable lengths. Please make sure to provide a subject line that does a good job defining what you’ll be writing about.
Although the Chatlist is a moderated list, over 96% of member posts do make it through to the daily digest.
CHATLIST GUIDELINES:
All writers agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, libelous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.

I was born & raised in Chatham Co. It stays with you where ever you go. My comment has to do with New Salem Church off old 87 in Chatham Co. I was born just across the rd. from the church & attended that church for many years. My Mother taught Sunday school there. I know times have changed but it’s the change in people that scare me.Your neighbors always came together in times of need, now we don’t even know who they are. The church was the mainstay of the community. My Grandparents,my Parents,2 Aunts, 1 cousin & my husband are all buried there. It holds a Special place in my heart & always will. I am not a member. My 1st. cousin wants to be buried beside her mother. Her brother has been buried there since 1973. She was informed by the preacher that a plot would cost her $5000.00. We paid nowhere near that for our plots The person we dealt with was the keeper of the cemetery & had a book to keep him up to date on who was buried where, so even without markers he was aware of the people buried there would not be disturbed. When I had coping put around out plots & a bench to sit on there wasn’t a problem. I even had plastic & rock on top so mowing wouldn’t be a problem. I cannot fathom such a price difference. She has at least 5 family members while I have 6 buried there. I don’t know who decided on such a high price but it doesn’t seem right to me. That Church has probably been there over 100 yrs. I know it’s been there over 70 yrs. There is a Confederate soldier or family member buried there. We do our level best to keep flowers on the graves of our Loved ones & at times on a grave with a homemade marked on her grave with no name on it. A church member made the cross out of kindness. The memories of being a part of that Church will never leave me. I shall always be a Chatham Rabbit no matter where I live. I really hope to find out about the price even if it’s none of my business. My cousin cannot afford $5000.00 for a plot. I don’t know anyone that could. Sincerely, Shelby Hewett.
Hello Everyone! My name is Jennifer Kidd and I learned about the chatlist through my business parter, Michele Peluso who recently moved to a awesome home on the river in Pittsboro. She has encouraged me to get more involved socially and business wise in Pittsboro! I have enjoyed several events downtown and have started doing some networking in the Pittsboro area. I recently met Cindy Poindexter with the Chatham Chamber and she convinced me to join! I’m excited about Michele and I building our photography business, and making new friends in Pittsboro. I love the chatlist and check it every week. My next goal is to visit the Soda Shoppe for a yummy milkshake! lol. I’d also LOVE to do a photoshoot at the soda shoppe at some point. Anyone interested in being my model let me know. I love the idea of a cute kids or teen/prom/date session at the soda shoppe1 Excited to get to know the sweet town of Pittsboro!
Swim Lessons are available starting with age 3 at the PSA Pool in Pittsboro. contact Kathy Price, or call 919-770-1460. Prices are reasonable. Lessons taught in the morning or evening.
I have two 100+ year old large black walnut trees I need to remove from my yard (90″ diameter, very tall). I’m interested in exchanging the wood for tree removal. If interested contact me. Thank you.
I am looking for movers in the Siler City area to pack, wrap in blankets/bubble wrap, move and transport furniture and personal items. Does anyone have a resource for this?
Where is the pool in Pittsboro?
Dear Ms Shelby Hewett, As I understand the church policy, members may be buried in the New Salem cemetery. Non-members apparently pay that price per policy. I was not aware of the difference.
The present cemetery does have limited space due to the layout of the parking lot.
