Sara Samano: Former Dellview Area Neighborhood Association Board Member.

Sara Samano and Joan Fabian at the Dellview Concert, 2012.

We wanted to specially thank former DANA Board Member, Sara Samano for all her hard work serving our Dellview community. She was dynamic in helping with many Neighborhood Night outs and numerous other duties. I personally want to congratulate her efforts on the Dellview Concert: A Journey through Time held September 21, 2012. Without Sara I wouldn't have had the strength to continue on this project and she was my personal cheerleader. Her smile helped me on my way working to make this project a success.  She obtained numerous donations and sponsors. Sara was also key in being a super mediator at our meetings when disputes happened (a rarity) and her kind words always helped smooth things out.  Her hard work continues on a daily basis since she is a counselor at San Antonio College and is a real professional indeed.

When I found out that she was resigning to devote time and energy to her family and personal obligations I was sad because she was a key to the unique chemistry our 2011-2012 DANA Board had. I hope that she will volunteer to help during the many activities and events we have in store for this year. Remember, this year is our 10th anniversary!  Thank you Sara! We love you!!!!
