Posted by Bob Jonas - RotaryFest 2020 Chair
Never been to a District Conference before?  Never felt that it would be of interest for you?  We're trying to change that!  From June 19-21 the traditional District Conference will morph into RotaryFest!  Read more for a synopsis of the changes being planned.  Our goal?  Create a family friendly RotaryFest that combines elements of the traditional District conference with the new and appeals to all Rotarians.  The picture to the right?  A special Friday night Rotary showing of What Happens in Vegas at the Fireside Dinner Theatre ... tickets going on sale in November!  Make plans to be part of a new Rotary tradition!  Read more about plans for the weekend.
RotaryFest will take place from June 19-21, 2020 in Fort Atkinson Wisconsin.  Some of the activities being planned include:
  • Friday Afternoon Golf Outing
  • Friday Night Fish Fry and Dinner Show at the iconic Fireside Dinner Theatre (What Happens in Vegas).  
    For over 70 years Las Vegas has been the entertainment capital of the world. Just about every great entertainer has appeared in Las Vegas over the last seven decades.  The world’s best singers, dancers, musicians, and comedians have flocked to this city where dreams become reality. Now The Fireside will pay tribute to many of those legendary performers in an all new live band show featuring Steve Watts and the celebrated Fireside Band. From the early days with Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack to
    the contemporary artists of today, we’ll feature the work of many Las Vegas favorites in the most spectacular band show yet. What happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas. It will be here for all to see and enjoy on the stage of The Fireside Theatre.
  • Saturday Morning: Bike Tour, 5 K, Canoeing etc.
  • Saturday Afternoon:  Rotary Seminars and Discussions at the 100 year old Fort Atkinson Club on the beautiful Rock River.
  • Saturday Night:  Rotary "Starting the Discussion  on Climate Change" at the Fort Atkinson High School Auditorium..  Rotary International's Immediate Past President Barry Rassin of the Bahamas asked us to start the discussion.  District 6250 is doing that by inviting a special guest panel of Local, National and International Business Executives to talk about Climate Change and how the market is responding.
