In 2017, the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition was the community partner for the annual ThurtenE Carnival at Washington University. As the coordinator for community partner relations, I had the incredible opportunity to work with Debbie firsthand while we strategized on how to raise awareness and establish/maintain a partnership with the university. Debbie was an absolute joy to work with and demonstrated how passion, perseverance, and selflessness enrich our community. The entire 2017 honorary benefited from having her in our lives and we wish her a joyful and relaxing retirement.
