GPWA Sommerfest was truly “Ein Tag am See.” Heartfelt thanks to Kapitän Stephanie and her grill‑master husband, Jim, for welcoming us again into their beautiful and stunning Lake Orion home. The conversations were delightful, the food our guests brought was wonderfully delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and the lakeside setting — complete with boat rides — made the day unforgettable.

What a wonderful event celebrating and enjoying “Spargelzeit” with white asparagus flown in from Germany and prepared to perfection by DeutschTroit.

What an incredible and informative event we experienced today at the Historic First Congregational Church of Detroit. The spectacular simulation experience in their Underground Railroad Living Museum brought history to life in a powerful way. We learned so much more about the horrors of slavery, the intricate Underground Railroad network, and the role Detroit played in helping enslaved people reach freedom in Canada.

We also enjoyed “Grannie’s Hot Lunch” while sharing everything we experienced and learned together. A meaningful day filled with reflection, education, and appreciation for the courage and resilience of slaves and those operating the underground railroad.

What an incredible evening!

This past Friday, our group delved deep into the U.S. immigration system—exploring its structure, visa types, pathways and history. It was truly eye-opening to see just how complex the system is and to learn about the many truths and misconceptions surrounding immigration in the U.S.

We were honored to have a special guest speaker share her life story and experiences as a DACA recipient—there truly wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

The evening sparked many questions and a lively, engaging discussion.

A very big Dankeschön to Sarah Bileti of Warner Norcross + Judd LLP for sharing your immense expertise and time on this important topic. Another thank you to Viviana for sharing your personal and heartfelt journey and experiences as a DACA recipient with us.
And sincere appreciation to Grace for walking us through some key aspects with U.S. immigration history—and for those delicious Italian cannolis!

It was a truly meaningful, educational and enriching evening spent with an incredible group of intelligent, international women with big hearts and curious minds.
