Rooted in a belief good news begets good news, we reach beyond the daily headlines to report the stories behind the scenes—stories that evoke a smile, touch the heart, and maybe even inspire giving back to the community.
Mission: Talk Loudoun is an e-zine with a mission: to build community through the sharing of positive stories about the people, organizations and events at the heart of where we live and work.

Now that Campus schedules are in full swing, take a look at your calendar and let us know if you'll be coming to join us at our final Institute Workshop of the year! We look forward to the good work around diversity, inclusion, racism and what NCBI refers to as 'all the 'isms' that will take place. Let us know if you have any questions and tag a friend so they know, too!

This unique function featured 20 donated, live Christmas trees each beautifully decorated by a different area business then within 2 days of the event each donated to a needy family or homeless shelter in Loudoun, fully decorated, to brighten their Christmas Day! With Nasuti's current company, Farm-to-Fork Loudoun, look to have the event come back Christmas-time 2013 - stay tuned!

Oh, Miriam … I’m so sorry to read the county is losing Talk Loudoun! But as you implied ‘when one door shuts another one opens.’ I wish you only the best in all you do, and I'll be supporting Farm-to-Fork Loudoun wholeheartedly. My goal is to eat at every one of the restaurants involved this year, it’s a great excuse to eat out and support one of the most important issues in Loudoun County right now … helping our local farms! Thank you for all you’ve done in the County and the great things that are yet to come. All the best to you, Karen McCarthy - ECHO

We will miss Talk Loudoun so, especially your amazing support of the work of organizations like Friends of Loudoun Mental Health. We can’t thank you enough for confirming for all of us how wonderful Loudoun County is. Please keep the community informed about the outreach of Farm to Fork here and throughout the state.

Miriam, though many times we tried to meet we failed to do so. Yes my dear, a swan song is sad but the future is still before you and with such creative ability the sky is unlimited. Good luck and if you happen to travel to Lake Como raise a glass to me and appreciate the finesse of what it would be like to have a chalet overlooking this God's spot. Norman Duncan, Loudoun Symphony
An e-mail received, on the announcement of Talk Loudoun's final e-zine last week -
_____
Miriam, you (Betsy, and everyone else) must be so proud of Talk Loudoun! It was more than a publication; it was a public service. Luckily, Farm-to-Fork Loudoun can also be described the same way. I wish you all the luck in the world with your next, already-growing (pun intended) venture. Best to you, Miriam. Cheers, Meg Burke, ReMax Select Properties
Here's another e-mail we received, after our Farewell letter went out last Friday. We'll be posting many of them over the next few weeks -
