Public Relations Grant
What can we do to help promote a positive image for Rotary District 6270? A Public Relations Grant is available which reimburses district advertising costs associated with television, radio, print, internet and billboard. Proposed projects should utilize materials from Rotary’s Humanity in Motion public image campaign. The application will be coordinated with District Governor Tamie Koop. PR Grant applications must be postmarked or electronically transmitted to RI Headquarters by October 1, 2008. This grant is for our entire district, not an individual club. Grant applications can be submitted to Tamie Koop or Karen White.

Our History
Rotary was founded in 1905. District 9 was formed a short ten years later in 1915. William Zimmers (Milwaukee) was the first District Governor. Over the next 76 years, through several re-districting and re-numbering processes, communities such as Duluth, Wausau, Minneapolis, Green Bay, Madison, LaCrosse, Beloit and Horicon became part our district. In 1957, under the guidance of District Governor George Markham Jr. (Oconomowoc), Rotary District 627 was formed of the cities and towns that would eventually became Rotary District 6270.
Rotary District 6270 was formed in 1991 under District Governor Frederick Luedke (Milwaukee). In 1987, women were admitted for Rotary membership in the United States. In 1998, we welcomed Angela Rester Samse of Menomonee Falls as our first female District Governor. Our tradition of strong leadership continues as a guiding force for the times ahead. As members, we volunteer our time and talent to further the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self" in order to make a positive impact on our communities and the world.
