Some Things Are Bigger Than Life

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

A week ago members of the West Springfield Rotary Club participated in a program that provides a memorable Christmas experience for underprivileged children. There were 50 children and they all received, in addition to many other gifts, a huge Teddy Bear. This young man was the shortest of the group. If the Teddy Bear was standing straight it would have been considerably taller than him.
