Dear Resource Guide user: It is a pleasure to provide you with the 2019 edition of our informative Resource Guide, produced as a public service by the Beacon Newspapers in partnership with Montgomery County government. We have updated last year’s edition of this Guide, and have worked diligently to ensure the accuracy of listings as of press time. However, numbers change frequently and some errors may remain. If you find any such errors, please let us know so we may correct next year’s edition. Our advertisers make it possible for us to print and distribute 50,000 copies of this Guide free of charge. Please let them know you saw their ads here and that you appreciate their support. A downloadable version of this Guide is available on our website at www.TheBeaconNewspapers.com, where you will also find archived copies of the Beacon newspaper, as well as our Silver Pages — a comprehensive and searchable database including housing, homecare, medical, legal and financial planning resources throughout the midAtlantic area.
