The Golden Mouse Awards originated with our member, PDG Stan Tulak DDS. A committee was set up and the late Grace (Grannie) Guderjahn, a past ICUFR Chairwoman, came up with the name. The award is made to members who have donated outstanding help to ICUFR

"RHHIF (Rotary History Fellowship www.rotaryhistoryfellowship.org) has published at least one issue per year. Most issues were edited and published by RHHIF Director Stanley T. Tulak. Having served as Editor for his Rotary Club of Madison Heights, Michigan, Stan was an experienced editor and publisher. A Rotarian since 1957, he had 40 years perfect attendance. He served as president of his club and governor of his district. Stan received a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1957 and practiced dentistry in Madison Heights until 1964 when he moved his practice to nearby Warren, Michigan where he practiced until his retirement in 1994."    Stan was an active member of ICUFR and died Jan. 1, 1998.
 

Golden Mouse Awards History

The late PDG Stan Tulak conceived the concept for the Golden Mouse awards. The Chairperson has done the selection of awardees with advice from other members, if he/she wants it. The Awards are ICUFR’s way of publicly recognizing Rotarians and/or Inner Wheel Members who have made significant contributions of time, energy, and effort to the growth and development of electronic communication in service to Rotary
