Greetings!

Congratulations to the Springfield YMCA for an upcoming birthday celebration - 50 years for their downtown location and a 1st birthday for the Gus and Flora Kerasotes Branch.  On November 3rd from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m., they are having a party - at both places - and your family is invited!

Details here.

Welcome to new bronze sponsor Sara Freitag, State Farm Agent.  Springfield Moms greatly appreciates the support from all of our premium sponsors. Give Sara a call for your insurance needs, or better yet, come say "Hi" at our booth this weekend at Halloween at the Market.
