HomeMy WebLinkAboutCity Council Resolution 91-24 COMMENDING ADRIAN STANGA
WHEREAS, Adrian Stanga has been named 1990 Saratoga Citizen of the
Year by the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce, and has been accorded
this honor for good and sufficient reasons which reflect his
commitment to local affairs during his 40-year residence in
Saratoga, (which might not even exist if he had not been on the
incorporation committee), and
WHEREAS, Adrian's civic and community activities include serving on
the Steering Committee of "Celebrate!Saratoga"; the Executive
Committee of the "Last Pop" at the closing of Paul Masson Champagne
Cellars; Auctioneer for the Library book sale; host of a television
program on Saratoga; and member of the Sister City Committee,
Historical Society, Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council,
Friends of the Library, Hakone Foundation, and Friends of Montalvo,
and
WHEREAS, his international work has included representing the
Chamber of Commerce to our Sister City in Japan; serving as
chairman of a committee to assist Samoan schools; working on
programs for American students in Austria; serving as a consultant
in Brazil and Peru; and serving on the host committee for visiting
Soviets, and
WHEREAS, he has successfully performed that most trying task--
serving on committees to tax or raise funds for such projects as
the construction of Sacred Heart Church; Saratoga-Los Gatos
Earthquake Relief; construction of Flint Center; and Saratoga
Educational Foundation, and
WHEREAS, he somehow managed to work in a full 30-year career in
education, accumulating numerous degrees, awards, certificates,
honors, and credentials along the way, and
WHEREAS, after his retirement from education he began an entirely
new career in retail sales at Adrian's of Saratoga, continuing his
commitment to young people by giving high school students retail
training, while also working for the the good of the community
through various projects of the Chamber of Commerce, and
WHEREAS, in short, his extraordinary talent and capacity for work
now enable him to add to his previous titles (which include
Honorary Chief, Pago Pago, and Honorary Burgermeister, Zwetl,
Austria) that of Saratoga Citizen of the Year 1990.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that ADRIAN M. STANGA is hereby
commended and thanked most heartily for his public spirit and
willingness to give time, energy and creativity for the good of his
community and his fellow Saratogans.
The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted
unanimously by the Saratoga City Council at a meeting held on the
6th day of March, 1991.
