Rotary District 5370 membership is actively working to improve the lives of vulnerable persons in our communities.

Our Rotary District is huge, the third largest in the world, even before the addition of the Yukon territories in July of 2019. It has over 100 clubs, all affiliated with Rotary International; Rotary, Interact, Rotaract and Earlyact. Those local clubs have members who are filled with the spirit of volunteerism; working together as friends to fundraise and support their communities, and other communities overseas.
June is Rotary Fellowships month in Rotary. Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience. How do I join a fellowship?
