Maureen Copelof: Transylvanian of the Week

Read Maureen’s profile in today’s edition of The Transylvania Times (transylvaniatimes.com). I’ve been so fortunate to meet and get to know her better this year over the White Squirrel Day event, compiling this article, and now through reading her book, “Discovering Germany.” I can’t wait to visit Germany! Be sure to go to one of her upcoming informal “Meet the Mayor” events, if you haven’t met her.
