[Ohio-talk] Springfield Chapter

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi,
Springfield's generosity is truly awesome. Mark and Crystal really were so generous with the Scholarship. I am so hapy that there will be a Jenica Ferguson Scholarship this year.
I am also happy to see the Bell program continue to benefit from financing.
