It seemed only a year ago that 14 of us (ranging in age from 23 to 49) started on the road to complete a Master's program. Unsure of who we would meet, how we would get along and the work load of the program were the challenges we all secretly thought about.
Right from our first meeting it was clear that we had a group that was sure to bond! When our professor (Mads) said that we would be entwined in each other's lives no one believed her. Well, I am happy to say that we have celebrated a wedding, 2 engagements and countless birthdays. We have listened to tales of family successes and challenges. Professionally, we have weathered the uncertainty of assignments and given numerous presentations in front of one another. We have laughed, laughed and laughed with one another during class and out at dinner. All the while, thinking: "Gee, Mads was right!"
Our little cohort is now facing the last 2 classes of our program. The question will become: will we stay together or go our separate ways.....I will predict that we have created a bond that will remain.
Working with one another through the learning process, our cohort is "Cutting the Mustard".

"Flocking" for a Cure
Our Relay for Life, Team CSI-The Cure team has decided that we would like to raise money this year a little differently. By using a 'flock' of flamingos we not only put smiles on people's faces but raise money for the American Cancer Society at the same time.
How it works: For a $25 donation to the ACS we will go to the home of your choice (within reason) with a flock of 20 birds....larger donation....more birds! The birds are left at the home 'under cover of darkness' with a note stating who sent them. We go back within 48 hours to retrieve the flock and bring them home (or hopefully send them to someone else's home).
Reasons to send: The flock is a great way to say: Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Congratulations, Happy Mother's Day or just for Fun!
We have been having a lot of fun delivering the flock on delightful days and dreadful nights (pouring rain), down dandy streets as well as dangerous drives. We certainly have a story to tell.
In this way, by raising over $3000.00, Team CSI-The Cure is 'Cutting the Mustard'.
Thanks Team!
