Rotary District 5650 Rotarians—Welcome to May! “April showers bring May flowers” … and all sorts of ways to serve our communities and the world to make an impact, create lasting change and “Unite for Good”!! Please read on.
The Rotary Peace Centers will accept applications for 2027-28 Rotary Peace Fellowships from 1 February through 15 May 2026. For the first time, candidates will be able to apply to study at Rotary’s next peace center opening at Symbiosis International University in Pune, India.
We will be holding a Ride to End Polio on May 23rd. There will be 10, 25, and 44 mile rides with the 10 and 25 mile courses being pretty flat and gentle.
The Rotary Foundation is the engine that drives all of Rotary’s initiatives. Without our donations to the Foundation, we Rotarians could not do all the projects we do around the world and in our communities.
The 2026 Rotary International Convention is set for 13–17 June 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, with events hosted at the Farglory Dome (Taipei Dome) and the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX).

We have roughly 90 days until ‘the changing of the guard’ at Rotary clubs around the globe - a tradition that dates back to 1913 when the fiscal year was set to end on June 30 to facilitate better financial reporting and organize delegates for conventions!
