Meet One Of Our Newest Members ... Elisabeth Rossman

Why did you join 20-30? How long have you been a member?

I joined 20-30 because working in the community to help people is important to me. I am also new to this community and I thought that it would be a great way to get to know people. I am a new member as of August 2012.

What positions (both club and national) have you held?

None at this moment.

Do you have a nickname? What is it? How did you get it?

I have quite a few but most recently I go by E. It's short for Elisabeth. Basically, I got it from a boss at a previous job and she said that my name was too long to type in IMs and emails so she crowned me 'E' and it stuck ever since.

Do you like to travel and where have you been?

YES! I LOVE TO TRAVEL! I have been to Italy, France, Switzerland, Mexico, Canada and all over the US.

If the whole world were listening, what would you say?

No matter what, be yourself!

How long have you lived here?

I moved to Gardnerville in April of 2012.

What is the main thing that makes you unique?

The very fact that I am me makes me unique.

What is your greatest strength?

Being open to all possibilities.

What are most proud of?

I am most proud of meeting Mother Teresa.

Do you have any siblings?

I have one sister.

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my spare time, I show Belgian Sheepdogs in conformation, agility, herding and obedience. I also LOVE movies, certain TV shows and reading.
