District 5770 Welcomes You

District 5770 is comprised of thirty 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.
