Hi NFB Family and Friends,

 

We will be showcasing our newest chapter, Greater Loudon. Under the
leadership of its Board, President, Brian Duarte, Secretary, Kandace Haney
and Treasurer, Harry Staley, this chapter has been shaking things up and
getting noticed!

 

This week we'll get to know Kandance, more than just a Secretary, Kandance
has been working very hard to make sure Greater Loudoun succeeds!

 

Kandace has been with us since 2020; she started with our At Large Chapter.
Kandace has been a member of Greater Loudoun since before the chapter was
only a thought and a wish! She was instrumental in creating the chapters
constitution, developing its roster, searching for meeting locations, and
every other aspect of getting the chapter off the ground. To say she is a
valuable member of the chapter , would be a gross understatement. 

She is concerned about the lack of reliable transportation for blind and low
vision people in her area and she is one of the members working with our
Fairfax Chapter to find viable solutions. 

 

Kandace has been there to get our initiatives implemented by attending
Richmond and Washington Seminars and local government meetings. She has
attended our State Conventions for over a decade and will be there in July
for National, again.

 

Its not all work and no play for this woman, Kandace is a foodie; she loves
to cook and try new foods. She's into kitchen gadgets and loves to play with
all of the new fangled instruments she can get her hands on!  "I love to
cook but don't get me wrong, I'll go out to a great restaurant in a
heartbeat" Kandace says with a smile in her voice. She enjoys a good wine
with her food and can be seen entertaining her friends and loved ones on a
regular basis.

 

She appreciates travel and does  so as often as she can.  Among her jaunts
she has been to Panama and Mexico and travels to Arizona, to visit family
often. She wants to go on a cruise and thinks one is in her future.

 

Kandace thinks her NFB family would be surprised to know she has 2 sets of
twins. One of her kids, actually young adult, is Alli, a valued part of your
Membership Committee and Greater Loudoun Chapter (Alli was showcased in a
prior member to member post).

 

Stay tuned, I know you'll be hearing Kandace's name in many conversations in
the near future and beyond! Greater Loudoun is making waves, next week
you'll get to know more from this phenomenal chapter.

 

 

Peace,

 

Jacki Bruce
