It is important to have all 2026-27 positions filled to ensure communications get to your club.
The Rotary Service Project Center (https://spc.rotary.org) is your hub for entering and managing service projects. Anything added here counts toward your club goals—so be sure to enter all your projects! Anyone in your club can submit a project, not just officers. (If you get an error on this page (https://spc.rotary.org), use the links across the top to navigate to the service project pages.)

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!
Did you enjoy the District Conference this year? Don't miss next year's! Mark your calendar for October 23–24, 2026 at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. Your conference ticket includes full access to tour the museum’s exhibits—an experience you won’t want to miss!
Rotary has created a calendar that includes a monthly focus. This provides a guide for Clubs to use to help members understand the programs of Rotary and the Areas of Focus for our causes.
Please include these email addresses on your distribution so that your District can support you and your activities:
governor@rotarydistrict5650.org
dge@rotarydistrict5650.org

How do you find contact information for another Rotarian - a member you met at a meeting, a District Committee Chair, the President of other Rotary Clubs in the District?
Does your Club have a subscription to ClubRunner for your Club Data Management? Access to additional aspects of the system do not automatically change when you define your Officers.
Do you have an upcoming event - maybe a fundraiser? Share your information so that it appears on the District Website Events List and Calendar.
