Superior Woman--Spring 2021

CO-EDITORS/PUBLISHERS
PATTI SAMAR & DALE HEMMILA
SSpring is springing, right?
FROM THE EDITORS
Cheers to the emergence of buds on the trees, ice melting in the Big Lake (it HAS melted, right???) and
hopefully a fabulous, warm summer in the U.P. is on the horizon because, that is what everyone in the U.P. looks
forward to the other 10 months of the year, right? ;)
This year the blossoming of new life feels like it is taking on a new meaning, as our nation begins to stir out of its
more than year-long pandemic hibernation. With many in Marquette County already vaccinated against COVID
19, we hope that we can all return to some sense of the “normalcy” that we recall from 2019.
Are you new to Superior Woman?
This is our second fully digital issue. We have created a full-fledged digital magazine, complete with a flipbook that
allows readers to turn the pages and click on embedded links within the stories and advertisements.
Speaking of advertisements…
In this issue, you will find advertisements for tee shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, wine
tumblers, beer steins, face masks (oh so 2021!) and other items designed by, well, me, as a
part of my business, Blue Water Publishing. All of these items can be purchased by visiting
www.43DegreesNorthGifts.com.
As a bonus: My online shop donates 10 percent of profits to five Michigan
nonprofits, including the Marquette Women’s Center and U.P.A.W.S. of Marquette
County.
Does your business need to reach the women’s market?
In this issue, we invite businesses in Superiorland that wish to reach the women’s market
to join us on this Superior Journey. If it makes sense for your business to reach our target
market of women, aged 35 to 65+, in the heart of Superiorland, then please contact one
of us, below, for more information about advertising in a future issue. You can also find
advertising information on our website at www.SuperiorWoman.Net.
About this issue…
In this issue of Superior Woman, we are pleased to present to you the stories of six
incredible Superior Women from Marquette County. All have achieved personal and/or
professional goals that would make any parent, partner, friend or family member proud.
We are honored that they are allowing us to share their stories. You will be inspired by their accomplishments.
Do you know a Superior Woman worthy of recognition in this publication? We are very open to accepting
recommendations for stories, so please do not hesitate to email either one of us if you know a Superior Woman
with a compelling story who would be willing to share her story with our readers.
Most of all, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read this publication. Your support means more to us
than you can ever know.
We look forward to spending even more time in the U.P. in the coming year as we ramp up our storytelling
adventures and meet even more spectacularly special and Superior Women.
Peace,
