Rotary International District 5170

Our District 5170 Club Service handbook is now available on line. This book was developed to help all Rotary clubs in District 5170 to be able to find answers to those commonly asked questions. This book will assist your club in becoming more proficient and productive. If your Rotary club attended the Club Service sessions at our Avenues of Service in October you have in hand the first addition of the book. Since that date we have added much more information.

I encourage all of you to download the new Table of Contents which will help you identify which new pages you need to download and add to your Club Service Book.

Please note that this book has been divided into SECTIONS that help you identify areas of where to look for information. You may either download the entire section as a zip file, or download individual Adobe Acrobat files (pdf)
