When I was a young child, I spent most of my time at
my babysitter's house. When my parents found Joyce,
shortly after my brother was born, they found more than
just a woman who ran a day care facility out of her home.
Joyce cared for around six or seven children at a time but
also belonged to a circle of other babysitters in her neigh-
borhood. This network provided an opportunity for large
scale play dates as well as resources for emergency child
care coverage. After I was old enough for school, I would
spend each afternoon there until my dad picked me up after

sharing that good news, the Commission also thought that
other minority bar associations might benefit from learning
how CABA built its pro bono program and reached a stage
where it could hire full-time staff counsel with an eye
toward emulating that success.

dealt with immigration issues. CABA's Board of
Directors hoped to marshal the resources of its mem-
