An Introduction to Anna Alioto
by Stephanie Block

What distinguishes Anna most is her ability to connect people. She has enriched the lives of so many with her networking expertise, vibrant personality, and sincere concern for others. Anna shines with the confidence she has gained through personal triumphs, and it is this light that attracts people to her. The battle of one friend in particular against breast cancer and lymphoma permanently changed Anna's life. Out of this struggle a foundation was born, Friends of Faith, to which Anna vigorously committed herself. Though Faith succumbed, Anna's faith did not, and she has been actively involved with several charities to include The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Richmond Ermet Aids Foundation, The Arthritis Foundation, Spark SF and Hidden Villa.

Physically and socially active, Anna has enjoyed enviable stints in Mexico and Hawaii. When she isn't
working hard to save the environment or putting together unforgettable events, you will find her hiking
at Hidden Villa, singing karaoke to standing ovations, and lending her grace to ballet and modern dance
movements. And yoga helps to keep her fresh and recharged. With the dizzying pace of her life, she
needs it!
