Liebe SAGA Alumni and Friends,

Spring is always a wonderful time of year. We watch the trees and flowers blooming; the later sunset allows neighbors to visit longer, and in general, the Pacific Northwest seems to awaken with a renewed vibrancy. As you will see in this newsletter, there are many opportunities for our community to come together during the springtime. Join SAGA for our annual Flohmarkt, support the Austrian Club gathering, or attend a classical concert hosted by the German Honorary Consulate in support of Ukraine. Together we are stronger!
