SAPULPA ROTARY PROJECTS

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.

Sapulpa Rotary is involved in a number of projects throughout the community.

Sapulpa Rotary as a part of District 6110 participates in the Medical Supplies Network. The MSN collects, refurbishes, and distributes donated medical equipment to help Rotarians in developing countries improve healthcare. From the Network's headquarters in Tulsa, Okla., Rotarians have sent X-ray machines, physical rehabilitation equipment, and other medical goods to the Philippines, where the Rotary Club of Angeles Kuliat helped distribute them to eight area hospitals. A Matching Grant from The Rotary Foundation of RI assisted with shipping costs.
