MLK Service Day
This video is from one of our AmeriCorps member, Jesse Childs. He took a camera and conducted a video of BAYAC/OCASA members on MLK day of service. He did an amazing job.
In Memory of Pete
Peter Hudson
June 27, 1969 – March 26, 2011
Pete Hudson died of brain cancer on March 26, 2011. Pete was more than a member of BACR’s staff; he was a member of our BACR family. During his tenure with BACR that spanned over 10 years, Pete was treated many times, and each time came back to our BAYAC National Service program to help make it the stellar program it now is. Pete was responsible for a variety of very complex and demanding administrative activities and always practiced the BACR value of perseverance in performing his work.
Pete had a heart big enough to personally touch each and every AmeriCorps member he came in contact with. Pete had a soft-spoken, powerful presence and impact on the lives of many co-workers that will remain with us far beyond the years we were blessed to work with him. Our condolences go out to Pete’s family.
