Dear Sisters,

Spring is here and summer is coming fast on its heels!

I hope all of you are staying healthy and are able to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with friends, family, and of course, your Danish Sisterhood Sisters!

In this issue, I'm so happy to see that many lodges are active once again and are enjoying spending time with one another. It looks like all of you have been busy too!

You'll also find an article later in this issue about something called Square Stories. It's an article I wrote about something that I'm very passionate about and something that has a special place in my heart. Better yet, it's Danish! I hope you all enjoy the article.

Remember to keep sending in updates to your Danish Sisterhood News and to have a safe and healthy summer!

Until next time,

Lauren C. Nielsen, Editor editor@danishsisterhood.com
