PRESENTATION:
Our presenters this week are Susan Polege and Emily Roose.
Their presentation is: Get to Know ME!
Both Susan and Emily shared with us the adventures of their lives.
You may already know that Susan Polege has boomerang’d back to Ely four times now. She is a farm girl who became a world traveler and now and Elyite (for the 4th time). During her years of travel her other homes included a grass thatched hutch in Peace Corps - Zambia, instructing Outward Bound canoe trips in the Everglades of Florida, bike- commuting next to the monuments in Washington DC, and running on mountains in Washington state. She shared her Tongan name Lweendo meaning Journey, as well as wonderful and interesting stories from her journeys. It is important to note her personal experiences with Polio. The deadly and crippling disease having attached members of her family to varying degrees depending on the person.
Emily Roose grew up in Des Moines, graduated from the Gustavis Adolphus College, passed the CPA exam and started working at Deloitte.
While in college, she worked summers at Piragis, and that brought her back to Ely. There seems to be a theme here!
She now owns a home, works at EBCH and serves her fellow residents as a member on the Ely Planning and Zoning Commission. It is easy to see she is the extrovert she claims to be. She shared adventures and activities like
snowboarding, surfing, canoeing, going to the gym, music (she plays the string bass), cross country skiing, camping, volleyball, live music around town, international travel, and throwing parties.
Both Susan and Emily have had many adventures that went into creating the people they are. While both are "newer" residents to Ely, they both are "Boomerangers" and surely jewels, here at the end of the road.
