A Rotary Craft Talk with Rotarian Candace Brown

The Rotary Club of Grover Beach-Five Cities welcomes its own member Rotarian Candace to present as one of our two special "double-feature" Craft Talks today. Craft Talks are dedicated to fostering deeper connections among club members by providing a platform for Rotarians to share their personal and professional stories. Craft Talks are an opportunity for members to introduce themselves, highlight their career journeys, personal passions, and community involvement, and strengthen the bonds of fellowship within the club. The club looks forward to learning more about Candace.

Candace is also a cancer survivor (6 years ). Prior to joining the Foundation, Candace spent over 11 years working at Lucia Mar USD. Candace originally moved to Santa Barbara from Wisconsin in 1990.
