Awards 2000 (Yolanda Sánchez)

Recognized member, Yolanda Sánchez

By Herman Santa

On January 23, 2000, the members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. (S.A.C.I.) presented plaques to the directors of the previous administration for their dedication and contributions to the club. The distinguished members in 1999 were: Yolanda Sánchez, Maite Peterson, Odette Gayoso, Josefina Gerena, and Olga González.

Recognitions are a display of gratitude, congratulations, and distinction. There is no recognition without behind it an extraordinary effort, an outstanding achievement, or a remarkable career. The newsletter “La Voz” is proud to acknowledge the work of an excellent group of ladies. Their vision, effort, and commitment have significantly contributed to the development of the club.

As a distinguishing feature, the following individuals stand out, particularly: Yolanda Sánchez, a native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, the first woman to assume the position of president of the SACI in its 8 years of existence, held the position of secretary in 1997 where she did an excellent job. Yolanda formed a board made up of women who also made history. The members of the SACI are proud that the qualities of our former president are recognized once again, this time by the board, which honors her with a plaque that includes a photo of the directors from 1999 for her “Dedication and Cooperation” to the club. Under your leadership, our institution has reached the highest status, being recognized as one of the best civic and social clubs in the area. One more to your account, Yolanda!
