Rotary Club Milwaukee Amigos After Hours International Project Progressing 

Rotarian Rosa Sugo brought a potential service project to our club earlier this year.  We applied for a Rotary District 6270 grant.  Awarded a total of $3000, the overall project will run about $4700 and will provide a safe, educational, and meal site for up to 35 youth during the summer months in Uruguay.  The project is in partnership with the Rotary Club of Maldonado and Merendero Despertar Abriendo Conciencias in Maldonado Nuevo.  Our Rotary Club provided funding to purchase the 3rd of three shipping containers that have been put on blocks and will now be joined with the other two and then remodeled to include doors, windows, HVAC, and furnishings that will allow this to be a multi-functional space for learning, growing, and receiving supportive and good nutrition.  More information will follow as the project progresses.

Rotary Fellowships are independent, social groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world.

How do I join a fellowship?

Fellowships are open to Rotarians, family members, and program participants and alumni. You can contact a fellowship directly by using the information listed in the Rotary Fellowships directory. Or search our discussion groups to find Rotary and Rotaract members with similar interests.

How do I form a fellowship?

Did you know that our District now has a new Fellowship?  Rotary Means Business - this was taken from the District 6270 home page - 

"District 6270 has now officially become the first Rotary district in Wisconsin to be chartered under the Rotary Means Business Fellowship. Rotary Means Business encourages Rotarians to support the success of their fellow Rotarians by doing business with them, and by referring others to them. I am of the firm belief that the most honorable people to transact business with are people who abide by the 4 Way Test. So, to launch the Rotary Means Business Fellowship, we are planning an event that will be announced soon where Rotarians who are involved in business or interested in business can come to socialize and learn more about how to join the fellowship. We are also working on an Electronic Business Directory (in PDF format) for all Rotarians involved in various businesses to be able to have their businesses listed so that other Rotarians can reach out to them to transact business or refer business to them."

Rotarian and Cycling Fellowship member Angie Rester recently rode in the Penninsula Century Fall Challenge where she ran into the Rotarians from the Rotary Club Door County North who hosted one of the rest stops and fueling stations in the ride that starts and ends in Sister Bay.  Cycling Fellowship members are also able to purchase the Rotary and End Polio jerseys made just for the Fellowship.  Angie is available for presentations to clubs regarding Fellowships.  She serves as the District Fellowship Chair.  Click here to email her your request or questions.
