The IRC’s subscription to “The Voice,” a weekly community newspaper covering Aurora and Kane County has begun and we’ve received the first issue.
“The Voice” covers local news and has several columns by local writers. There are recipes, a “Pet of the Week” column, some comics and sports.
Local newspapers are doing well, and this is your chance to check out one that covers this area.
