A little late posting but this was such a bittersweet day for everyone at the Coalition as we said “Aloha” to our sweet Cindy Lou-Whoo. She embarked on her well earned and very well deserved retirement. Her 17 years of service to not only the Coalition, but to the communities we serve is an exemplary testament to the woman she is through and through. Though we are sad to see her go, we’re also so excited to see what the future holds for her (we’re thinking lots of beach trips and pool time).🩷

A special thank you to everyone who came together to make this celebration memorable for our girl.
