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.
Grange Chili for Charity Luncheon

A tasty event!  My husband (Bruce) and daughter (Tiffany) joined me for this annual event.  Each year, hundreds of residents come to the Grange to sample the treats.  The  groups of bicyclists which stopped by looked like they were very happy to have a place to stop and refresh before finishing their ride.  The Grange holds this event at The Pleasant Park  School House (a refurbished one room school built in 1894).  The proceeds of events such as this go to the many charities in need.  I can speak from personal experience.  The Grange graciously made a donation to Give 2 Orphan Kids (the organization for which I am Global Director).  Their collective dedication to helping others is oustanding! Meeting new people, signing autographs, talking about my platform and the International Pageant System rounded out the wonderful lunch.
