We’re happy to welcome one of our newest Rotarians: Elayna Zammarelli. Get to know her by reading this introduction, written by her sponsor Chane Griggs:
Elayna Zammarelli is a lawyer with Saalfeld, Griggs and her area of expertise is Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy  and  Litigation. For a layman’s interpretation that means that Elayna  focuses on representing lenders, financial institutions and creditors in all aspects of banking, creditors’ rights, and bankruptcy. She represents institutions and individuals on a variety of financial and collection matters, from loan document preparation and review, to negotiation and loan workouts, to asset recovery actions, including foreclosure and bankruptcy.
Elayna graduated Order of the Coif (which means among other things that I found on the internet – that Elayna was in the top 10% of her class) from the University of Oregon School of Law, where she competed in the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Annual Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition. Elayna served as Managing Editor on the Oregon Law Review and was a Judicial Extern to the Honorable John V. Acosta, a federal magistrate judge for the District of Oregon.
So Elayna is very smart, but…….I think what will make Elayna a fabulous Rotarian is that she is kind, she is engaging and she’s fun!
For example, Elayna enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband Sam golfing, hiking, or exploring Oregon’s wine country. When not outside, she also enjoys reading, cooking, and knitting. So now I have someone to share the joys of knitting at Rotary!
Please help me welcome Elayna to our club.
