Giving Back
The Springfield Rotary Club, represented here by Matt Foley and Mary Jo Leventhal, had the good fortune to present to Laura Baxter, director of Project Woman, $1,500 worth of baby formula and feminine hygiene products. A recent Springfield News-Sun article indicated that the woman’s shelter was desperately in need of these donations. The generous support of our members and our foundation provided us this opportunity to serve.
