Letters: A ‘thank you’ for being a vital community asset

Posted

To The Editor:

Thank you for the extensive coverage of the COVID-19 virus and impacts on Chatham County. Your newspaper content the past two months reminds all of us why local newspapers are vital community assets. Your articles have focused on the news, the people making a difference, and the role of government as we march through this pandemic. I enjoy the features that cover a range of interests and Chatham people doing what they do best, and looking beyond this horrible moment in our shared history.

The writers and photographers on the staff are up to the challenge. I look forward every week to new discoveries about a corner of Chatham, a non-profit organization doing the heavy lifting to serve others, interesting people who call Chatham home, sports achievements, and just plain news that needs to be reported for citizen awareness. I appreciate the chats with our neighbors that you share in your pages. Thank you for being our newspaper and bringing us together every week.
