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.
Join us tomorrow for a FUNdraiser!!  I can't wait to Zumba with the ladies and help this wonderful organization.
 
JOY International is a Conifer-based organization that works to free girls from human trafficking and the sex trade all around the world. After their rescue JOY strives to give each child a renewed hope and a joy for living with enhanced life opportunities through Safe Havens that offer physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual restoration. This organization quite literally SAVES LIVES!

Mark your calendars and SAVE THE DATE!!!

Suggested donation of $20 at the door to dance (or as much or as little... as you can give). To quote Dr. Jeff Brodsky, "when JOY has funds - girls get rescued, so this can truly be a life-saving effort."

REGISTRATION: To help cut down on chaos the morning of the event, you may pre-register with Jamie at any of her Zumba classes beginning March 25th! Otherwise, doors open at 8:00 a.m. on 4/13 and you may register at that time.

There will also be a silent auction full of product from local artists, crafters, and small businesses, so come prepared to bid high and getcha some! Doors will open at 8:00 a.m. so you can come a bit early and check things out! If you want to come and participate in the giving but aren't interested in dancing, that's okay, too! Donations can be made at the registration table with checks made payable to JOY International, and you can participate in the silent auction if you wish as long as you're at the church from 10:30-11:00 so monies can be collected at the close of the event.

There will be a balloon release at 8:45 a.m. to honor the 400+ girls that JOY has freed thus far, and Dr. Brodsky will briefly address the group at 8:50 a.m.

Our goal for this event is to raise $2000 for these precious young ladies, but I'd be tickled if we blew that goal out of the sky! Rescue operations are expensive, but the life of a young girl is more than worth your generous gift!

Can't wait to PaRTy with ya for the For the Freedom of Girls!
