Melvin Hayes Celebrates 25 Year Anniversary as Fulltime

Employee with Nestle Dreyer’s

Melvin Hayes was the first BARC

Client in Kern County to be hired by a

local business, which took place 25 years

ago in 1989. The Californian covered

this wonderful story then. In 2005, The

Californian did a follow- up story on

Melvin’s progress as an employee for

Nestle Dreyer’s, sharing how Melvin

hadn’t missed a single day of work in

sixteen years. On Tuesday, August 5th

Melvin celebrated his 25th Anniversary

with the Nestle Dreyer’s organization

and to this date, continues to have per-

fect attendance. Many of his co-workers

and several supervisors joined the cele-

bration on Tuesday and shared many

kind words about what it was like to

work with Melvin and how he has a

special way of making everyone smile.

Congratulations Melvin! We wish you

many more years to come!

Last month the ARC Council had a summer dance that was

full of fun, food and dancing. Some of the attendees even

saw how “low they could go” at the limbo. The ARC Council

wishes to thank every one that made the event a success!

The ARC Council unanimously voted at their last meeting to

sponsor a Client for the upcoming Disneyland & Knott’s

Berry Farm Trip!
