Just finished perusing my copy of December 2024 edition of The Laurel Independent and here’s a few of the highlights:

  • A tribute to Marcus Colbert by his sister, Cynthia Colbert, who recently released a book remembering and honoring him.
  • A call to help staff our Winter Shelter at the new Multiservice Center – If you have the ability to volunteer for a night or overnight sometime between Jan 5 to Mar 31, please wholeheartedly consider signing up for one of the 420 time slots (email lwsboard@groups.io).
  • Historical recognition for Laurel’s black community in Bacontown.
  • Highlights from Laurel’s Small Business Saturday program.
  • Many upcoming events like: “Christmas Carol” at Laurel Mill Playhouse weekends of Dec 13 & 20, Wreaths Across America on Dec 16, Photos with Santa opportunity on Dec 23, Free viewing of “The Grinch” at Partnership Hall on Dec 23, Christmas tree collections starting Jan 8
  • And much, much more!
