Congratulations, Laura Tabrosky! 🥳

We have been blessed with Laura’s presence at XLT for many years now! She is always one of the firsts to help out at any of our competitions or community events. Not only does she offer up her time, she brings some of her tasty treats with her, which is always greatly appreciated 😋 We are also so proud of Laura for recently getting her CF-L1 certification! Can’t wait to see where her continued education takes her.

We are so glad XLT can be one of your happy places and very grateful to have you in our community, Laura! 💚💙
