2012 Mitten Drive

Christmas came a little bit early this year to students at the Homer Street School in Springfield.  Register Ashe arrived bearing gifts of hats, scarves, gloves and mittens collected by employees and customers of the Hampden County Registry of Deeds.  Watching the joy and excitement on each child's face is what makes this season so special.  A big thank you to Principal Kathleen Sullivan for inviting us to her school and to Maria DeAngelis for her help in organizing this event.
