Serving the Network of Diverse Clubs in Alaska        

Welcome to Rotary District 5010                    

Rotary District 5010 covers the entire magnificent State of Alaska with a shout out to our Yukon neighbors recently part of us as well. 
 
From the icy northern shores of Point Barrow to the rain forests of Ketchikan; from the western town of Nome, home of the Iditarod burled archway to the large cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, our 38 clubs join with the other 1.5 million Rotarians around the world who believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues in our communities and across the globe. 
 
To save mothers and children, to fight disease, to provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, to support education, to grow local economies, and to promote peace.

Rotary Helping Alaskans in 2020 during Pandemic
Dec 18, 2020
In 2020, D5010 Rotary had three separate and distinct efforts to provide COVID-19 disaster relief and economic help to communities in Alaska.  Rotarians and Rotary clubs were generous in their giving and support to others less fortunate during what has proven to be one of the most significant events in our lifetimes in in the past 100 years.   Much appreciation goes to the many individuals and organizations who made it possible for D5010 Rotary to help others.

DG Kashi to work with Rotary Clubs to build local economies

Starting Thursday evening, September 10, our D5010 embarks upon a major District-wide project to assist communities across Alaska in building our local economies and making our communities more resilient.  A key focus of DG Joe Kashi's year will be to work with interested Rotary Clubs to help build local economies. Every Rotary Club and Rotarian can participate.  There’s no cost involved with implementing this national award-winning, proven grassroots program and it’s open to every community.  Our first forum features experienced State of Alaska economists Neal Fried and Karinne Wiebold examining Alaska’s current economic situation and how we got here. Join us.  A reminder invitation is emailed to club presidents for distribution to members.
