November Service Project: Alley #3 Cleanup
Join us as we come together for this month’s Trailblazer service project, cleaning up Alley #3 as part of Main Street’s Adopt an Alley initiative!
Location: Alley behind Kinkaid’s, between Grand and Cleveland, 3rd and 4th Street Date: Sunday, November 23 Time: 1:00 PM
We’ve proudly partnered with Main Street Ponca City, and the Trailblazers are officially responsible for Alley #3. Main Street will provide trash bags. Please bring your own gloves and anything else you think might be helpful like rakes, grabbers, brooms, or water.
Let’s make a visible difference and show what People of Action can do for our community. See the photo for alley details.
This month’s Tuesday Talk left us inspired. Mack brought incredible energy and reminded us what being a Rotarian is all about, seeing a need, embracing it, and helping to solve it together.
We revisited the Objects of Rotary: friendship, integrity, service, and peace, and saw People of Action firsthand as we learned about the fundraiser for Sean, a local student in need of a kidney transplant.
Rotarians everywhere are helping their own backyards, creating a ripple of impact for a better world. 🌍💙

DISTRICT EVENTS
District Youth Protection Training District & Club Members in Youth-Facing Roles
Every young person involved in Rotary deserves to be safe, respected, and protected. As Rotarians, we have a moral and ethical duty to uphold that trust.
If you serve in any youth-related role—including Interact, RYLA, Youth Exchange, or local youth projects—you are required to complete the District’s Youth Protection Training.
This training is especially important for club presidents, board members, and anyone who works with or supports youth programs. It provides the tools to recognize risks, prevent harm, and ensure every Rotary activity meets the highest standards of safety and care.
By participating, you help protect young people, strengthen trust, and uphold Rotary’s values.
