Samarkand Neighborhood Association
The Association's mission is to provide a community voice to advise city officials, staff, school personnel and the community at large about community needs, events and concerns.
Membership in the Association is open to residents and property owners within the area bounded by De La Vina Street on the north, Mission Creek on the east, U.S.101 on the south, and Las Positas Road on the west.
The Association is governed by a set of bylaws and a Board of Directors,
elected by the general membership.
The first organizational meeting of the Board of Directors was held on September 24, 2005. The year 2007-08 board started their term in July with three new members.
Current Board of Directors:
John DeVore ( President )
Wayne Beckman ( Vice President )
Jack Meyer ( Secretary )
James A. Smith ( Treasurer )
Joyce Duncan Falk
Terry Johnson
Fred Marsic
Ruth Young
Meetings of the Board are held on the third Thursday of each month
at 5:30pm, at the Samarkand Retirement Community.
