Welcome to Norman Rotary! Whether you are a current member or potential Rotarian, we are glad you found us. I’m Liz McKown, your President for 2025-26. I am very honored to be asked to lead this wonderful group of service-minded, compassionate and enthusiastic people. What a privilege it is to be welcoming you to our Norman Rotary website!
So who are we? Rotary International is the largest service organization in the world, and while Rotary is a powerful global force, it all starts right here - locally - in Norman. As Rotarians, we take our motto, Service above Self, very literally. We focus on service to the larger community and to each other as we create connections working alongside others who have hearts for service. With our service projects (primarily focused on literacy efforts in Norman Public Schools), we act to impact our community. And we have fun!
The Rotary International theme for 2025 is “Unite for Good.” What a great reminder for all of us in a time where we need more unity and more connection. As Rotarians, we work together to find common ground in an effort to do good in our community. I like to think of our actions in relationship to the butterfly effect. In the book The Happiness Advantage, we are reminded that we’ve been created in order to make a difference. And together, those differences have the power to change the world.
I invite you to join us for a meeting, a service project, an After Hours, or simply contact a member of our club. We’d be thrilled to get to know you! Let’s make a difference together.
