DISTRICT GOVERNOR ELECT

One of Pamela Greene’s finest Rotary moments occurred in 2015 when she placed two drops of polio vaccine into the mouth of a small child in West Africa as part of a Rotary National Immunization Day (NID).
Others include serving as a host family for two children receiving life-saving heart surgery through Gift of Life, hosting visiting Rotarians from Puerto Rico, Brazil and Sweden and participating in a Friendship Exchange with The Royden Revolve Rotary Club in the UK.

To date, the Foundation has raised almost 2 million dollars and aided in the adoption of over 700 orphans from 39 Countries being adopted by families in 47 States in the United States.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR NOMINEE
Michele Camilleri (2028-2029)
I owned my flower shop for a few years when a friend suggested I join an organization to network with people in my community. A few different clubs were offered; I chose Rotary because I knew some of the people involved. I had heard of Rotary but was not sure what they did. I attended my first meeting wondering. A few months after joining my Club President asked me to meet her at the high school to set up an Interact club. All these years later it is still one of my favorite service avenues.
During the pandemic, people were looking for ways to thank first responders, doctors, nurses and all workers, I saw some people put a colored bow on their door to acknowledge their dedication during the worldwide crisis. It inspired me. I had bows in every color made to honor our workers. I could not let the bows go. ‘Bows on Broadway’ was born. I put bows up in Amityville each October to commemorate and remind women to go for their mammograms. Red, White and Blue bows are also put up in the Village to honor our veterans and our country.
The Gift of Life program is a program my club has been supporting for years. As chair of the event, I had the opportunity to work with my club and Gift of Life personnel. My next stop was a two-year term as president of the Rotary Club of Amityville. The Mental Health initiative was started, and I was dedicated to working on this project with a focus on young people. In cooperation with our Interact club we sponsored the first Mental Health Art Contest. This committee became one of the most important works to me, and I have continued to be part of it.
I was appointed Assistant Governor and have enjoyed meeting with the clubs and getting to know all they do. With a little coaxing I decided to pursue the District Governorship. I felt I could be asset to Rotary on a new level and bring my leadership and dedication to an organization I admire for their work in our local communities through the clubs and internationally through the donations of its members.
I hope to inspire others to join Rotary and to advance their membership to leadership.
