She has been a familiar face at the Greenspoint YMCA and in the Aldine Community. Now Mariana Sanchez has been recognized for her efforts to improve the lives of those living in the Aldine/ Greenspoint Community.
On March 6 Sanchez was selected as Hispanic Woman of the Year-2010 for Community Service in Houston by El Succesos newspaper and HCC.
It was a pleasure and honor to represent the Aldine Greenspoint Community and also to have the YMCA recognized at this event, which support was important to our success, Sanchez said.
Now after three years with the YMCA Sanchez will be moving on to another post as her career progresses.
She will be sorely missed, Eduardo Rodriguez, Executive Director of Aldine Greenspoint YMCA said.
I have been planting seeds all this time and now it is time for me to harvest the growth provided from these seeds for this community. I will not leave the families or the children; I will continue working to complete what I started a few years ago. She said that this is not good bye. I will be around for any help that I can provide to this community.
