Click here to read honoree Jackie Littlefield's speech. Wellspring's 12th Annual Women Honoring Women Luncheon was our largest ever, with more than 550 women attending. Grammy-award singer-songwriter and Rockport resident Paula Cole treated the crowd to a rousing performance. Kristina Holmberg, a young mother of two, who is also a graduate of the Adult Learning Initiative and Nurturing Program for Families, movingly described her journey of transformation at Wellspring. "I am better equipped for college and better equipped for life," she said. Shown in the photo are (l-r) Wellspring Board Chair Jane Porter, Paula Cole, Kristina Holmberg, Jackie Littlefield and Carol Provenzano, both honored for their years of service to Wellspring, and Executive Director Kay O'Rourke. Keynote speaker Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray was also honored. (Photo: Melissa Nicastro Photography).
