The Bay Area All Stars held its latest audition,
Saturday, March 12 at Oakland Technical High School. Every
Sunday for several weeks prior to the 12th, the volunteer
outreach team was out pre-registering dozens of young people
on busy Oakland street corners, in parks, outside of schools
and recreation centers. In one outreach effort, Dr. Elouise
Joseph, Director of the All Stars Youth Programming and Community
Outreach along with youth leader Eulanna Allen addressed an
excited audience of young people at an Oakland Boys and Girls
Club many of whom signed up to perform and volunteer.
