Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.
President George W Bush Benefit Dinner
A photo with two great men, my husband Bruce and President George W Bush. (while I don't agree with either one of them all of the time, I can certainly respect their viewpoints!)

After dinner, we all walked over to the auditorium where President Bush took to the podium to address the large crowd of people who came to hear him speak. He is much more personable than I ever would have guessed. His down to earth speaking delivery warmed the hearts of many. It wasn't an evening for politics, it was an evening of listening to stories of one man and his presidency. It was eye opening to see things from a human point of view instead of a political one.
