District Changing of the Guard Ceremony

On June 28, Rotarians gathered to witness the District Changing of the Guard from DG Bill Wresch to DG Paul Decker. The Hartland Lake Country Rotary Club was the hosted the event. Rotarians enjoyed cocktails and a buffet dinner on the outdoor plaza at the Seven Seas Restaurant, owned by Waukesha Rotary Club incoming president Jack Weissgerber. DG Bill thanked the district officers for their great work during the past year. He also said that he had a goal of "having fun, making friends and being proud to be a Rotarian" DG Bill said that we accomplished all those goals. He was particularly proud to have visited all 60 clubs in the District and that is where the great work of Rotary is being done. From a $130,000 response to the Haiti Earthquake to projects in Haiti, Peru, Guatemala and Africa, District 6270 Rotarians are doing great things. DG Paul thanked assembled Rotarians and stated, "I am truly humbled to be your DG".
