Reggie and I are excited to share some improvements and new features on The Apopka Voice. Our hope is that each feature will give more opportunity for your voice to be heard, your events attended, your garage sales, house sales, car/boat/household items selling, and your creative endeavors inspiring Apopka and beyond. Here’s how we want to help you do just that: The Apopka Voice wants to hear your voice, thoughts, and opinions on important issues affecting the city and your neighborhoods.

It's attracting, intriguing, and kind of distracting. I look up.

By Denise Connell, Publisher; Éclairity.org Founder The window was opened, and that made all the difference. It was a normal Tuesday afternoon with nothing on the horizon but tapping keys, jotting notes, and moving the day’s agenda to completion. Sitting at my desk for hours straight – something I keep telling myself not to keep doing – I was determined this would be the day I’d finally tear the to-do list to shreds and toss it in the trash, triumphant at last.
