Leslie Hudak
Secretary
Being the secretary of Peninsula Shepherd Senior Center is an honor for me. I have respect for the work done by the Center. Being a member of All Souls' Episcopal Church for 17 years, I was able to recognize the work the organization has done. I am involved with serving the lunches for the Lunch Bunch every month and enjoy meeting the seniors. I was born and grew up in Pennsylvania. I attended college there and after graduation, I moved to San Diego. I taught every grade from kindergarten to high school. My last assignment was as a school counselor.
