Liliana (legal assistant extraordinaire), and I, volunteered this morning at the Credit For Life, a financial literacy program at STCC. Several hundred Springfield high school students were trying to maneuver through life as a 25 year old (job, credit score, insurance…). We met some of the future leaders of Springfield. -Ryan

I had the pleasure of reading a book about Jacques Cousteau to Ms. Clarke’s 4th grade class at the Pottenger School in Springfield yesterday. The kids are so attentive and inquisitive, which really makes this so much fun for me to do. I strongly recommend looking into Link To Libraries, Inc. and volunteering your time to this wonderful program. After reading, each kid gets to select a donated book for themselves. Thank you to Ms. Clarke for allowing us to read to your class. -Ryan
