News Around The District
November is Rotary Foundation Month, and we’re inviting all Clubs to join the Proud Rotarian Campaign to celebrate our shared impact through the Rotary Foundation! This campaign is a great opportunity to spotlight your Club’s pride in Rotary and inspire others to give.

Here’s how your Club can participate:

Several current and former members of the Rapid City Rotary Club have served in the military.  The Veteran Banner project has been a community lead initiative since 2017 and recognizes local veterans by displaying banners throughout Rapid City.  Bill Rhode and Ashok Kumar are two of our current members who are honored on banners this year.
Members of the Brookings Rotary Club were treated to an inspiring program this week featuring South Dakota State University Women’s Soccer Head Coach Brock Thompson and senior player Shelby Hopeau. The duo shared powerful messages about leadership, community, and the values that define the Jackrabbit soccer program. “What a picture of servant leadership you have for this community,” Thompson said, thanking Rotary members for their volunteer work. “The people that work behind the scenes to make sure some of these community functions happen—it’s really inspirational.”
District Governor Bruce Nearhood and the District 5610 Nominating Committee are pleased to announce the selection of Jeanelle Lust of the Rotary Club of Sioux Falls West as the District Governor for the Rotary year beginning July 1, 2028. Congratulations Jeanelle!
