🌺 Congratulations to Cindy Ching AIFD, CF, CFD, the 21st inductee into the Great Lakes Floral Foundation Hall of Fame! 🌺
On Tuesday, October 27, friends, family and industry colleagues gathered at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth for a Hawaiian-themed evening honoring Cindy's lifetime of design, education and service to Michigan's floral industry.
From her roots on a farm in Elsie, to designing in Honolulu, to more than 25 years with the Michigan Floral Association, Cindy has been a mentor and friend to so many. As Foundation Chair Teresa Cytlak said, "We all love her like family."
Thank you to our sponsors who made the evening possible:
