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.
Inlet Fitness South hosted a fundraiser for Wounded Warrior this weekend.  A dear friend of mine, Martha, and I contributed to the cause and participated in the 200 minutes of zumba.  Inlet fitness also offered spin classes, yoga and power fit as part of the fundraiser.  I had the pleasure to meet numerous volunteers for Wounded Wear and was touched by the story of their founder, Jay Redman.  Please read his story at http://www.woundedwear.org/
He is an inspiration to all Americans.  If you have ever considered volunteering for a worthy cause, this organization is one to look into.  These people have hearts of gold and I am looking forward to volunteering for them on October 15th for their Virginia Beach Wounded Warrior Mural Dedication.  A special thanks to Inlet Fitness and all of the instructors and members as well as the Wounded Wear volunteers who each made this event a success.
