On behalf of District Governor Peter Nelson and District Awards Chair Jodi Phillips, we are pleased to announce the refresh and relaunch of the District 5580 Rotary Excellence Awards.
Every day across District 5580, Rotarians quietly make a difference. You support families, mentor young people, strengthen communities, build partnerships, protect the environment, and live Rotary's motto of Service Above Self.
 
 
 
On 10/24/26, World Polio Day at 10 a.m. CST, Rotary members across Region 36 – Zones 25 & 29 are coming together for something BIG — a bold, unified step toward a polio-free world.
 
We are calling on 36,620 Rotarians and 964 Rotaractors across 11 states and 2 countries to take part in the World’s Largest Polio Walk — a powerful, visible demonstration of our commitment to ending polio forever. 
This is more than a walk. It’s a movement.
 
Every step taken helps raise awareness and support our collective goal of raising $1 million to end polio. Together, we are “This Close” to eradication—and this is our moment to push across the finish line.
