mark your calendars

This Tuesday, we’re welcoming some incredible guests—local Exchange students from Germany, Sweden and Spain who have traveled from across the globe to experience life here in Ponca City. They’ll be sharing their stories, insights, and perspectives on adapting to a new culture, what they’ve learned so far, and how this journey is shaping their future. Join us for an inspiring conversation and a chance to see the world through the eyes of these incredible students. See you there! Lower Level Redbud Room

2. Volunteer at the Clinic - We’re designating Saturday as Club Volunteer Day! Whether you can give a few hours or more, your help is appreciated. Sign Up Here: Volunteer Sign-Up

DISTRICT GRANT UPDATE: THE FOX PROJECT IS COMING TO LIFE!
 

Exciting progress is underway with the Fox Project at Union School! Thanks to the funds raised from last year's Crawfest and support from a District Grant, a new Fox will soon brighten the school grounds. This project not only supports City Arts but also brings creativity and fun to a new area of town.

 

President Brooke Jones and Foundation Chair Brandie Choate recently announced the project at a Union School assembly, and students and staff are beyond excited! We're kicking things off with a coloring contest, inviting students to submit designs that will inspire the Fox's final look. The winning student will also receive a scholarship to attend an art camp this summer.

 

This project showcases the power of giving to The Rotary Foundation and highlights how events like Crawfest fund meaningful community initiatives. We can't wait to see the Fox come to life!
