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.

Welcome to September! Rotary International dedicates this month to Basic Education and Literacy. Several clubs have taken on a dictionary project to support the students in their areas. These are important projects and provide benefits for years to the children and their families. We encourage the clubs to support literacy in their communities. Tell us about your project.

This morning at the Sooner Club meeting, our incoming District Governor, Conni Eckstein, was inducted as the 2022-2023 District 5770 Governor.
Several past District Governors were in attendance. Sadly, some needed to leave early and didn't make the DG photo at the end of the meeting.

Here are some of the photos taken by C.E. Jones. Can you tell that Conni is ready to get started?
