March 31 - Brigitte Frances

This morning we heard from new Rotarian Brigitte Frances. Brigitte is Foundation Development Coordinator for The National Air Force Museum of Canada. As the only employee of the foundation, she takes on all tasks from fundraising to book keeping. Brigitte also runs her own graphic design company BFCreate.

Although she did not originally train as a graphic artist she fell in love with the principals of design and took classes to improve her knowledge. BFCreate has taken off, and now she is looking to hire a full time web designer. Brigitte also runs an Art school for children, they have more than 100 kids for the 1 week class during the March break. This art program is more than crafts, the children learn about fine art, art history, acrylic painting, and so much more.

Brigitte lives in Belleville with her, husband, two children and her Oma. The relationship between her children and her Oma has been the inspiration for her future non-profit that brings children and seniors together for art and literature. Brigitte joined Rotary to meet like minded people. Welcome to Rotary Brigitte!
