We are in the final stretch of a remarkable Rotary year—and the path in front of us is clear:
 
Finish strong. Finish together.
 
May is Youth Service Month, reminding us that our greatest investment is in the next generation. Across District 5830, our Interact and Rotaract clubs have demonstrated what it means to lead, serve, and give with purpose.
 
Now, we have an opportunity in front of us that can define how we finish this year.

May 2026 Foundation Newsletter 

Hi Y'all! It's May and we're all looking forward to a new Rotary Year and new opportunities for service. But wait! We've got to finish this year first and we're behind.

"District 5830 is ... behind its historical norms in both total annual fund giving and per capita giving. [The District] had an exceptional 24-25 year, and 5830's 25-26 annual fund results so far are close to and will likely exceed its historical annual fund norms. The endowment fund giving is well ahead of 5830's historical norms. 5830 has also increased membership." That's not my analysis but that of ARRFC Bob Dill from Oklahoma who monitors 5830, 5770, and 5750.
