May is Rotary’s month to celebrate Youth Service—a time to recognize that one of our greatest responsibilities is investing in the next generation of leaders, peacemakers, and changemakers. Across District 5840, our clubs are making a lasting impact through Interact, Rotaract, RYLA, scholarships, mentoring programs, and student leadership opportunities. These efforts do more than support young people academically or professionally—they help shape character, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to service above self.
Get ready for an evening of celebration, connection, and a little bit of retro fun as Rotary District 5840 gathers for the District & Club Leadership Installation! On Saturday, May 30, 2026, Rotarians and guests will come together at Strawberry Pines in Poteet, Texas, to officially install the incoming District and Club leaders for the new Rotary year. This special event marks a meaningful transition of leadership while celebrating the dedication and service that continues to make Rotary thrive.
