May is Youth Service Month, a time across Rotary International to recognize and celebrate the young leaders who are already making an impact in our communities. Here in District 5750, we see that impact every day through Interact and Rotaract clubs, RYLA participants, and Youth Exchange students who are stepping up to lead, serve, and grow.
These programs are more than participation. They are pathways to leadership. Young people are gaining confidence, building connections, and learning what it means to serve above self. Their energy and perspective continue to strengthen Rotary and the communities we serve.
Thank you to every Rotarian who mentors, supports, and invests in our youth programs. Your time and effort are helping shape the future of Rotary.

Across the district, clubs may consider:

District Training Assembly 2026 was a powerful reminder that the passion for Rotary leadership, service, and connection is stronger than ever across District 5750. Rotarians from throughout the district came together to learn, collaborate, and prepare for a new year of impact - sharing ideas, building friendships, and strengthening the foundation of our clubs and communities. From leadership development and membership growth to public image and service initiatives, the energy throughout the Assembly reflected a shared commitment to moving Rotary forward into a new era of purpose, unity, and People of Action.
With the new Rotary year just around the corner and the incredible momentum building across District 5750, now is the perfect time to invite friends, neighbors, colleagues, and community leaders to experience Rotary. The passion for service, leadership, and community impact continues to grow as clubs across the district create meaningful change and build lasting connections. Every new member brings fresh ideas, new energy, and greater opportunities to strengthen our communities and expand the impact of Rotary together.
This month, the Eastside OKC Rotary Club demonstrated the power of service and community impact by helping feed more than 350 individuals in the community. Through compassion, teamwork, and a commitment to Service Above Self, members came together to provide meals and support to neighbors who needed it most.
Food insecurity continues to affect individuals and families across our communities, reminding us that even basic necessities are not always guaranteed for everyone. Efforts like this serve as an important reminder that local service projects can create meaningful and immediate impact in the lives of others.
By stepping up to serve, Rotary members helped provide not only meals, but also encouragement, dignity, and hope. Acts of service like these strengthen communities and show what is possible when people come together with a shared purpose of helping others.
Community impact grows when more people choose to get involved. Whether through volunteering, donations, partnerships, or simple acts of kindness, every contribution helps build stronger and more connected communities.
Small acts of generosity, when multiplied across a community, create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we continue to unite for good and live out Service Above Self.

Since we have the entire camp AND the kitchen we would love some kitchen help. It would be great if a few Rotarians and or clubs would volunteer to help preparing meals and cleaning up. Let Nicole know you would like to help. nmhs40@gmail.com
