District 6220 RYLA :: About District 6220

Rotary International established the present boundaries of District 6220 in 1968 to encompass the northeastern quarter of the State of Wisconsin and most of the Upper Peninsula of the State of Michigan. However, Rotary came to the area long before the current boundaries of District 6220 were established. Of the district’s 42 clubs, seven were chartered before 1920 and nineteen more by 1930. The most recent club was chartered in 2004. Present club sizes vary between 10 and 240 to give a total membership of about 2,100 men and women working to give Service Above Self to their communities and to the world. The District has been a leader in Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) and RYLA, a strong supporter of the Rotary Foundation programs of Group Study Exchange, Ambassadorial Scholarships, and Matching Grants, and an increasing supporter of Rotary Volunteers and World Community Service Projects.
