The District 16 Star Award (formerly known as the Texas Star Award) annually honors the Unit volunteer who works steadfastly at the Unit level to promote bridge and to further Unit activities. 

 2022 Sandra O'Bannon

Sandra O'Bannon is Unit 225’s recipient of the District Star Award for 2022. Sandra has been serving as Treasurer for Unit 225 during the past 4 years. During this time, she undertook the arduous task of having our state tax exemption status reinstated. This process involved hours researching archives for past income tax documents, consulting with a CPA to submit the proper documentation, and numerous phone calls with various state and federal tax entities. Reinstating the Unit’s tax-exempt status will save the Unit thousands of dollars in the future. Beyond the job of Treasurer, Sandra has served as Chair of Nominating Committee, Co-Chair of the 2019 Tournament of Roses, Hospitality Chair, Awards Subcommittee, and others.  Sandra’s willing spirit serves the Unit and her clubs in a myriad of ways. She is very deserving of the  District Star Award for Unit 225.
