Celebrate Fairfax has announced the Lords and Ladies of Fairfax for 2010. Representing our fair Reston, the Hunter Mill District, are Lady Carol Ann Bradley and Lord Patrick Kane.
Lady Carol Ann Bradley – Carol Ann Bradley’s service record is a testament to her selflessness and commitment to the Reston community.

In addition to her leadership in education, she has also served on the Reston Community Center Board for the past three years and most recently served as the Chairman of the Governing Board.

Ms. Bradley’s work is a model of dedicated community service, which she exemplifies in every facet of her life.
Lord Patrick Kane – Patrick Kane is a long time Reston resident and has been involved as a consultant, educator, and community advisor addressing planning and community needs for over 30 years.
