In 1984, community leaders Lynn Watanabe, Sharon Weiner, and Ruthann Yamanaka had a vision for a Child & Family Service Guild that would provide voluntary leadership and support for fundraising and awareness opportunities. With the support and encouragement of Jeff Watanabe, Chairman of the CFS Board (1984 – 87), the first CFS Guild was formed with ten original members.

What does the Guild do?

The Guild provides support to Child & Family Service by:

• Helping to increase public awareness of what CFS does in the community
