In Memoriam

We fondly remember Arlene Kawamura, who served as RIF’s Vice President and School Liaison after joining the team in 1998. Her attention to detail was invaluable, but it was her creativity that truly set her apart. Whether crafting calendars for our volunteers or written communication with her fellow team members, Arlene brought a sense of whimsy to everything she did. She had a special passion for visiting classrooms and sharing her love of reading with students. Arlene will be deeply missed, and her legacy will continue to inspire all of us.
