EDitorial
In honor of Women’s History Month, the Currents team has decided to focus our spring edition on the theme The Good
Fight: What does a Rebellious Woman Mean to you? We reflect on the milstones of women’s achievements across the past
three centuries and dedicate this issue to the strong women who fought and died defending our rights.
As you will notice upon reading the magazine, we have
a brand new layout and our 2020 editions will focus on
the importance of environmental sustainability. A shout
out to Shelly S. who provided dozens of photos and a big
thank you to all the writers and meticulous proofread-
ers who dedicated their time crafting the content of the
magazine. I want to thank Carol H. for her years of hard
work on Currents. This magazine would not be possible
without her hundreds of hours of work and commitment
to providing our club members the best stories and high-
lights of life in Hamburg.
I look forward to working along side Mason Jane M., who
is a gifted writer and editor, as well as our growing list
of contributors, writers, proofreaders and photographers.
Please enjoy the spring edition of Currents: The Good Fight.
Regards
Beatrice K .
