SUMMARY: The YWCO organization in Laurel is celebrating its centennial this weekend, marking 100 years of serving the community. The organization was founded in 1914 by women looking for a place to gather and eventually evolved into a space for women to socialize, learn, and support each other. The current building was raised in just nine months with funds from the community, and now hosts a variety of activities and classes. The centennial celebration will include Bingo, arts, and a look back at the organization’s history. The YWCO hopes to continue serving the community for another hundred years.
