TO OUR READERS

Hello, readers!

Hello, fellow readers! It’s hard to believe that August is already here. I don’t know about you, but this has been a jam-packed summer filled with so many things to do and places to see. I think this was one of the hottest summers I have seen in a long time. Now that August has arrived, school is on the minds of many people. Parents are preparing their kids for the upcoming school season, college students are getting settled into their new homes, and the educators of our community are busy as always coming up with new programs to expand the learning in all fields of education.

This was such a fun issue for The Woman Today team to put together. Four amazing women shared their journey with us on how journalism led them to the careers they have today. We then hopped down to the Lake Superior Zoo to have a visit with Haley Cope to learn how the past year has gone since she accepted her role as CEO.

Michele Hakala-Beeksma, who is a member of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, shared the historical role of women in Ojibwe culture. After that, we took a spin with local stock car driver Jessie Limberios, who shared her love for the sport that has captivated her since childhood. This is just a snippet of what we have in store in this issue. Our community is filled with extraordinary women and our goal is to share their stories with you. We appreciate all of your story recommendations; please keep them coming. They can be sent to magazines@duluthnews.com. Thank you for picking up this issue of The Woman Today, see you in October!
