This issue shares many examples of the great things that happen when women care about each other. Andrea Novel Buck looks at the YWCA and its evolving mission over its 125-year history. What started as an organization to help immigrant women continues to support the oppressed. Andrea Busche shares the story of Judy Rengo, a longtime driving teacher who no doubt has crossed paths with just about every person in town. She also writes about Teri Mattson, who turned an interest in crafting and camaraderie into a successful business. And in our cover story, Alison Stucke writes about Michelle Gribbon, a longtime community musician who received a statewide award for her advocacy of choral excellence. We’re proud to bring you their stories and more. There’s so much we can do together.
