Rev. Robert F. Galitz, life long Rotarian, was a charter member of the Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club and Past District Governor for Rotary District 6270. Bob lost his struggle with Lou Gehrig's disease in 1999.

Following Bob's passing, the club established the Bob Galitz Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund. The goal of the fund is to provide an annual scholarship for a returning college student. Students are nominated by District 6270 Rotary Clubs.

In order to fund the endowment, the Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club held the inaugural Bob Galitz Memorial Golf Outing in 2001. The golf outing continues every year in memory of Bob's many contributions to the Rotary world.
