During a recent meeting of the Milford Rotary Club, immediate-past present Dennis LaPlante presented Rotarian Tony Gallo with the prestigious “Rotarian Of The Year Award. During his comments, LaPlante noted, “it is with great pleasure that I chose Tony Gallo as Rotarian of the Year during my year as President.  In an organization, which has as its motto “Service Above Self”, Tony exemplifies the true spirit of Rotary.
In addition to serving as Club president in 2011, Tony currently serves as Assistant Treasurer and is on the Club’s Board of Directors. This past year, he has been an active participant on the Salvation Army Kitchen Renovation Project Review Committee and the Committee for the  “Crutches for Africa”  Project.
In addition, he has worked on helping to maintain the grounds at the project Hope Safe House. Gallo also donated storage units and coordinated delivery of donations during the “Crutches for Africa” Project.
His enthusiasm, thoughtful comments and suggestions and charitable spirit have made the Rotary Club of Milford a much better organization by his efforts”.  Gallo has been a member of Rotary since September 2007.
