PSAR congratulates PSAR broker Amy Saflar for being named a finalist for the Champions of Home Impact Award by the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.).
Amy was selected for her dedication to the Alpine Woman’s Club, which has 100 members. Her roles have included board secretary, trustee, luncheon hostess, and grant writer. From January 2023 to February 2024, Amy contributed more than 340 volunteer hours, impacting approximately 15,500 people.
Over the past 12 years, Amy’s grant writing has secured over $126,000 in grants for the Woman’s Club. These grants, from San Diego Gas & Electric and the County of San Diego’s Community Enhancement program with support from District 2 Supervisor Joel Anderson have been used to maintain the Alpine Historic Town Hall and provide scholarships for graduating high school seniors in Alpine.
“I have a service heart and love to volunteer,” Amy said. “I’ve supported food nonprofits, Soroptimist International, and school PTAs, but my longest service has been with the Woman’s Club.”
Amy’s nomination included this testimonial:
Amy Saflar’s steadfast dedication over the past 12 years has enhanced our community. Her efforts in preserving and improving the Historic Town Hall of Alpine. A pivotal hub for community engagement, have been instrumental. Her leadership and commitment to the Alpine Woman’s Club have ensured the sustained maintenance of this cherished landmark.
Amy’s resourcefulness in securing funding has made the Town Hall a vibrant center of activity and a source of community pride. She has strengthened the bonds that unite Alpine’s residents, enriching the community for generations to come.”
