We welcome you to the Rotary District 5950 website and hope that you will enjoy learning more about the work of our Rotarians in local clubs and in Rotary International.

 

The main purpose of a Rotary district is to enable clubs in a defined geographic area to work together more effectively in advancing Rotary’s mission as a global network of more than 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who envision a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. 

 

District 5950 of Rotary International is a group of 62 Rotary Clubs and 5 Rotaract Clubs located in Central Minnesota. These clubs represent 41 Minnesota communities ranging in size from Minneapolis to Springfield. Our District is one of 535 Districts in 200 countries and territories throughout the world in more than 45,000 local Rotary Clubs. Our District is one of 5 Districts with members in the State of Minnesota.  We have more than 75 leaders who volunteer to encourage and inspire clubs to best serve their communities.

 

 

 

District 5950 covers the portion of Minnesota from Minneapolis & Eagan to the west following the I-94 Corridor to Alexandria on the north and Glenwood to the west and almost Iowa to the south. We also have a club of Global Travelers with members from multiple countries and the Rotary Club of I-94 Inclusive, serving Immigrants who desire to make a difference in their communities.

The first Rotary Club in the District was established in Minneapolis in February 1910, the ninth club in Rotary International. District 5950 is home to more than 2,300 Rotarians, who are a diverse group of professionals of all backgrounds, business owners, and community leaders living or working in their respective communities.
