Hello, my name is Donna Juergenson and I am the newest member of the Welcome to the Community team. I am a world traveler, meaning we move around allot! I have spent the last 26 years with my traveling companion and husband, Duncan. We have 2 sons and there have been many other children who have touched our lives. I interpret for the deaf and to almost everyone.
Many people think I am part Italian because I use my hands so much! People are amazed at how many signs they learn just hanging around me! I work part time for the Pueblo Disability Center and the school systems. It's great working with the children and adults here.
I would like to share some of the hidden treasures I have discovered in Pueblo West and Pueblo. I belong to the Ladies Work Out Express family and really enjoy all of the health benefits and friends there. I attend our local nutrition classes with Jo Shrubbe. Did you know that EDTA is one molecule away from being plastic and it's in our food?
I love trying Tai Chi at the Step Up program here at the Recreation Memorial Center with Jo Stinchcomb.
I am attempting to learn how to outshoot my husband and boys with the help of the Pistoleras and Linda Hill.
I have gone through the CSU Master Gardening program and help them at the information office and farmer's market. The farmers' market is down on 4th Street in Pueblo and open Tuesdays and Fridays.
We have a beautiful water conserving garden here in Pueblo West which I am helping 'The Gardeners' move to the local Cattail Crossing Pond.
I enjoy helping at special events at the Therapeutic Riding Educational Center.(TREC) The disabled children and adults appreciate the freedom that riding gives to them. TREC can always use more volunteers and are more than willing to train their new help.
Every other Thursday morning I enjoy relaxing and meeting new friends with the Christian Women's Coffee Hour at Tuscan Bean.
I have participated or am looking forward to participating in the Quilter's Club, Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), the rock hounders club, the doll club, the bird watching and hiker's club and exercise aerobic swimming with the recreation department.
Come on out and explore Pueblo West! Let me know what treasures you find!
