As winter begins to loosen its grip and Berlin’s skies stretch a little lighter each day, March arrives with a quiet promise: renewal. The first hints of green along the paths, the longer afternoons, the simple joy of stepping outside without bracing against the cold — this is the season that gently calls us back to one another.
For the American Women’s Club of Berlin, March is more than a shift in weather. It’s an invitation to reconnect, to stretch our legs and to gather again in the warmth of shared experience. Janel Schermerhorn, Former President of the American Women’s Club of Berlin, reflects on ‘Springtime Community’ at AWC Berlin:
Having served as President of AWC Berlin, Janel Schermerhorn understands how meaningful these seasonal transitions can be for an international community. Living abroad often means navigating long winters — both literal and figurative. Spring reminds us that community, like nature, renews itself.
Janel Schermerhorn often speaks about how some of the most powerful moments within AWC Berlin aren’t grand occasions, but simple gatherings: walking side by side, chatting over coffee, or sharing a meal. These small rituals become anchors — especially for women building lives far from their original homes. March’s calendar reflects that spirit beautifully.
