Elke Porter is the mother of 2 young children.  One of them attends a German Playgroup at the St. Mark's Church and the other one attends the Westside German School in Kitsilano.  Elke started the newsletter in 2007 as "German VOICES Vancouver" and decided to expand her horizen in 2009 by renaming it: Westcoast German News.  At the moment, Elke is trying to find more US subscribers and more US content, while still offering plenty of local Canadian content at the same time.  Since it is only sent as a .pdf document and no longer gets printed, the number of pages don't matter.  Bring it on!  See you online!  Willkommen...
