Hello CUES Members,

I'd like to take a few moments to open an introduction thread. We've all been using CUESNet for just about 6 months (Already?! Time files!). This community has been super active and I love reading your threads with questions and seeing your responses! People helping people, that's what it's all about!!

Let's have a little bit of fun and share some fun facts about ourselves. I'll rip the band-aid off first to get the ball rolling!

I was born and raised in Southern California, moved to the Phoenix area in my mid-twenties, and now have found myself in the cold state of Wisconsin. Even though I freeze for more than half of the year here in Wisconsin, I just love the snow - it's much prettier than the dirt I am used to - but I miss the mountains!
A fun fact about me is that I can wiggle my ears - a trait I've inherited from my Grandpa!

I look forward to learning more about you and your fun facts!

Hi Laura and fellow CUES members,

My story is too long to start as far back as Laura, so here goes. I live just outside of North Bay, Ontario, Canada in a Village called Astorville, which is about 300Kms (180 miles) north of Toronto. I am a retired police officer and presently a Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pembroke. I am in my 8th year as a director on Northern Credit Union's Board and just stepped down as Chair after 5 years. We have a five year term limit for Chair and four - three year terms as a director.
Something unique about me is that I have been refereeing ice hockey for 50 years, and if I get into the year 2020 I will have officiated in 7 decades.

I look forward to learning more about fellow CUES members, as well. Take care!!!

Hello everyone!

I was born in Jacksonville, Florida and spent most of my childhood there. When I was older, our family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana which is where I still currently reside. A little fun fact about me, I am a musician in my spare time (mainly as just a hobby these days). I have played guitar for 18 years, been singing for 23 years, and have played drums for the last 4 years.

Have a great weekend!

I'm in!  Here's something (timely) about me.  My birthday is the 4th of July.  My dad was in the Air Force and we always went to the Base for fireworks.   My parents told me they were for me and I believed it for years.   Hope everyone had a lovely Independence Day!

Hi, Laura and everyone!

I was born in Southern California, but mostly raised in Missouri. I'm enjoying life in Colorado, now, and hope that this is the place we stay for the rest of our lives. I love the town of Loveland. So many great coffee places and we are an "artist town". I am only marginally artistic myself, but so enjoy others' works, and have so many opportunities here to support the arts.

Something interesting about me is that I moved at least 9 times growing up, and I've lived in 5 different towns/cities since I got married at just 18. Nope, my husband, my dad, nor I have been military. My husband was in full-time ministry for about 20 years, and my dad had lots of kids, only 2 years of post-secondary education, and (I think) ADHD-so he changed jobs a lot! :)

I enjoy singing, writing, and binge-watching Netflix (especially sci-fi - I'm a big nerd!).

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here on CUES.

Thanks!
Teresa

Hello All,

I currently live in the same small town of Howards Grove, Wisconsin where I was born and raised.  My husband and I love to travel anywhere we can and as often as possible. Currently Italy is our favorite place we have traveled to.  We have two cats, Derby and Dice, who have their run of the house most days.

Something interesting about me is that I love to make homemade wine and sharing with others.  I am still looking for a way to use my love of wine making as a way to do good in our communities.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
