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.
We welcome you to inquire about our District and our Rotary Clubs. Please contact us. We’d love to get to know you!
Greetings Rotarians of District 5770. August is Rotary Back to School Month! Parents and grandparents have been busy following the activities of kids and grandkids throughout the summer and now is the time for school to start once again. It's time to get busy with Rotary! Let's use this opportunity as Fall schedules begin to focus on increasing club membership. Be open to inviting new people to your club and let's work to increase our membership throughout District 5770. By working together, I am confident that we can succeed.
Yours in Rotary,
District Governor Carter Waid

To join, Rotarians pledge a minimum donation of $100 per year to Polio Plus, until polio is eradicated.
