Here's a quick breakdown:

  * Catch Some Live Music: The Silver Spring Jazz Fest is back, this Saturday (Sept 12) - with a stacked lineup, including headliner Cimafunk. If you're looking for more fun, later in the month, the 34th Annual Burtonsville Day is happening on Sat, Sept 19!

  * Voter Registration: Tuesday, September 15, is National Voter Registration Day. Whether you need to register, verify your status, or learn how to be an election worker, check out the Montgomery County Board of Elections for locations and details.

  * Career & Professional Growth: If you or someone you know is navigating career changes, the WorkSource Montgomery Resource Hub offers great support. They’ve also launched SkillUp® Montgomery, a free online platform for job skills training.
