Rosie Masih retired from COFI on November 30, after 32 years of service. Rosie worked in the COFI Vancouver office Finance department and pretty well anyone who has received a cheque from COFI has benefited from her work.

Some of her finance and administration department colleagues from years gone by, including Fay Greenwood, Ed Duda, George Dudas and Ted Powis, were present at her retirement luncheon to wish her a happy retirement. John Allan, COFI President and CEO, thanked Rosie for her years of dedicated service, noting that in today's world there are not many people who devote 32 years to one organization.

Rosie expects to be kept busy in her retirement with her Church activities, family and friends. We wish her a long and happy retirement and thank her for years of warmly efficient service. We will miss you, Rosie.
