✨ Board Member Spotlight ✨

Our first Board Member in the spotlight this month is Bruce Dean! Bruce has been on the CFNS Board for 4 years. He grew up in Pleasant Hill, California and is the Co-Founder & Chairman of the Black Bear Diner. Bruce loves the North State because of the people and the beautiful lakes and rivers. He says that “the community has always supported me, now it’s time to give back!” Bruce wants people to know that CFNS is “a force for good in the North State, matching people who want to create a legacy of giving with those who can use our help to do good works.” And last, but not least, Bruce’s favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla bean.
