Just picked up my copy of the latest Voices of Laurel edition outside the Main Street Post Office, and it packs lots of interesting and informative stories from around town, including:

  • Recognizing Stillborn and Infant Loss Support (SAILS) as the latest recipient of the Laurel Lights award for being a beacon of hope and healing in the Laurel community.
  • Recap’ing neighborhood highlights from around town, such memories from the 4th of July parade, the new Women’s Business Center at Savage Mill, tasty stories of Dirty Dough, the latest on new stores at Burtonsville Crossing, and profile of the Whittaker Sisters' Olympic run, among many others.
  • Reminisces by County Councilman Tom Dernoga about when Laurel almost became home to Redskins stadium in 1994.
  • An FREE invitation to a “Day at the Races” on October 26 hosted by Voices of Laurel.
  • A profile of Oliviah Walton, the kicker on Palotti High School’s football team and all-around soccer athlete and student.
  • Not to mention much, much more!
