Scope and Contents

Rotary accomplishes a great deal of its work through committees. Committee materials in this collection are few in number, but include the Fiftieth Anniversary (1968-1969), [Paul] Harris Fellowship (1987-1988), History (1993-1999), Kids’ Coulee (1991-1999)and Rotary Lights, (1996-2001). The History Committee materials include a VHS videotape of the 75th La Crosse Rotary chapter history event from 1994. The Rotary Lights folder consists of only one or two items. Better coverage of this event can be found in the clipping file. The Kids’ Coulee materials are extensive and include information on the history of the project, design and planning, fundraising, publicity, volunteers, construction, and financial materials. Photographs are included in many of the folders, but the materials relating to the construction of Kids Coulee contain the most photographs. VHS videotapes are also included pertaining to the February 1994 Design Day.
