Laurel House turns 40!
Dear Friends,
After months of planning to commemorate our organization’s 40th Anniversary on May 28th, it’s unbelievable to think that we will now honor our history during such an unprecedented time. Yet perhaps now, more than ever, Laurel House continues to stand as a beacon of hope for the hundreds of families right here in Montgomery County that are struggling with domestic violence during this already very challenging time.
We know that we have come a long way since our Founding Mothers first created a hotline and shelter. We are grateful for all of the progress that has been made, and we know that there is still more work to be done to achieve our vision of ending domestic violence in every life, home, and community.
On behalf of all of us at Laurel House, thank you for taking the time to share in this celebration of our organization’s history. We look forward to all of the exciting things to come in the future!
Sincerely,
Beth Sturman
Executive Director
