District 5770 Welcomes You

 
District 5770 is comprised of thirty-one Rotary clubs located in south and southwest Oklahoma. The District also sponsors Rotaract clubs in universities across our area and supports Interact clubs in area high schools. Click here to request information.
 
From it’s beginnings in 1915 as District 11, encompassing Kansas and Oklahoma, to its current moniker designated in 1990, Rotarians of the district have made it known our hearts are in service to our local communities, with support to the global efforts of Rotary International. District 5770 has produced two Rotary International Presidents: Everett W Hill, of the Shawnee, Oklahoma, Rotary club in 1924-1925, and Ron Burton, of the Norman, Oklahoma, Rotary club in 2013-2014. Herbert J. Taylor, author of the Four-Way Test, served as the third president of the Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, Rotary Club.  He later moved to Chicago and served as President of Rotary International from 1954-1955.

Welcome to February, Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month. Rotary International says it best:  As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission. We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.
 
By carrying out service projects and supporting peace fellowships and scholarships, our members take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.
 
What projects does your club plan to promote peacebuilding in your community? Let us know. Email publicimage5770@gmail.com with your story.
 
February 23rd is worth celebrating. It’s Rotary’s 118th anniversary! Thank you for being a part of this international organization and for the work you are doing locally and globally. You are making a difference.
